Generally the treatment of low ejection fraction consist of beta blockers like Coreg and ACE inhibitors (captopril, enalapril, etc.)

Exercise is also a good idea as long as you don't develop chest pain or shortness of breath.

That would depend on a number of things. Why is your ejection fraction low? Have you been given a diagnosis? Did you ever have a heart attack? Do you smoke? How much alcohol do you drink?
