I was initially told HF the day I was taken into hospital and had bloods, xray, ECG and CT scan. After seeing Consultant month later was given further diagnosis of Severe Dilated Cardiomyopathy. I think Heart Failure is an umbrella term for multiple heart conditions. After MRI.... Well you don't want to know.... 🤣
