Entresto is a medication that helps improve your longevity of heart disease. I have been taking the mid-dose 49 for almost 3 yrs now. There are 3 levels of strength. I had severe damage to my heart in 2010. Suffered 100% blockage in my lower LAD. Therefore the bottom 1/3 of my heart muscle was just gone(dead tissue) due to the severeness of my heart attack. I have improved longevity now. I can do many things I couldn't do before. Watch my grandchild. Walk and do more strenuous activity. I just normally can withstand a long day much better than before. From what my doctor told me it is a stabilizing med to help slow the heart disease process and improve your quality of life. Some patients have suffered heart disease too long that studies show the meds then didn't make a difference. My meds are covered with my insurance. I'm told it is a very pricey medication. But after 8 yrs of this disease , one of the top meds I have taken 😊

Where did u apply for the grant? Everything is going very good right now and do not want to rock the boat. Doing 2-3 miles everyday, no problems breathing, no shortness of breath etc. Just not sure if I am ready for it.
