From severe HF to mild in 10 months

Hi folks, just an update. I was diagnosed with severe heart failure in April 2019, a shock as you will all know, couldn’t climb a flight of stairs and was breathless and fatigued.

I was put on all the right meds, then sacubitrol valsarten top dose. Then had a CRT-D fitted in January and my echo last week said I was now mildly impaired at most.

So there is light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going and keep taking the tablets.
