Are you in the care of a cardiologist, with Left ventricular dilation, you should be, depending on severity, husband's severity very high for a start.
Ask for help with a dietian, and you must work with them or you are going to die much younger than you should, and you MUST get that weight under control, its not helping your heart at all.
Sorry to be so blunt.
Husband has same, and has been very good with diet, exercise, also has helped me, as we both have a weight problem, and has outlived the Dr's predictions of 3 months to live, in letter to GP, he is now 6 half years on, out walking his 5 km now as I answer this, he has already done 20 mins of stationery bike riding in our lounge room while watching breakfast TV.
Diet, chop and change around you dietian until you find one that works for you, we found one who gave us a chart for our fridge, postage stamp sized pictures of what we could eat, and how much, all the vegetables you like, excepting potatoes and a few others, brilliant chart, I sealed them up in plastic cover, and they hang on our wall to remind me to start following them again, have been lazy recently, need to get our act together, husband has had a virus and Dr's at the hospital said to forget the diet for a few weeks, and eat high protein, his cholesterol has gone sky high once again, at 4 week checkup post virus, told to get back on our diet.
Walking, start off slowly, otherwise you will do more harm than good, husband started walking to the front of our section, 20 steps, then to front of neigbours section, about 40 steps, returning exhausted, even when to cardiac rehab group for six weeks, through our cardiologist, brilliant, when he started could walk about 100 steps, when he finished could walk about 360 steps in any one stretch.
By 18 months he had built that slowly, about every ten days or so he expanded his walking by about 20 steps, by 18 months he was doing the 5km's, same as the morning.
Dr's amazed at his progress, orginally EF 23%, two weeks ago EF 45%, on echocardiogram, Dr's very pleased.
His heart also became very slow, 30BPM, EF down to 34%, that was about 18 months ago now, his branch bundles in his heart failed completely, he had and has BB 100% block, complication of Left vent failure I'm afraid, they installed a three lead pacemaker and defib.
He said as soon as they switched it on he felt better, and could breathe, and started peeing like you wouldn;t believe, one thing the nurses said to me as well, they were constantly running with bedpans. peeed out over 2kilos in weight in the next 12 hours after pacemaker installed.
