[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 273428, member: 3"] As long as your blood pressure is controlled and you are doing cardiovascular exercise frequently, your ejection fraction will improve after a MI. My partner's went from 40 to 60+ in a year. Here is a list of medications that may be more erection-friendly: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.excelmale.com/threads/what-high-blood-pressure-meds-are-the-most-erection-friendly.2666/[/URL] The ejection fraction (EF) is a measurement of the percentage of blood leaving the heart each time it contracts.
