Hi Harvey! I was diagnosed in 2011 a few months after giving birth. My EF was 20-25. Thanks to the intervention of an exceptional cardiac team, I am doing well. My EF is 55-60. I do yoga daily and aerobic exercise 4 times a week. I still have chronic systolic HF and moderate MVP, so because of that, they’re keeping a close eye on my heart through bi-annual echocardiograms. Other than that, I’m asymptomatic. So yeah, 12 years and still above ground!

I don't walk a lot but I am very active I can still do a lot of things and for that I am great full the diet on other hand is hard to do

Harvey, that is a Great question! It depends greatly on what the overall status of a person’s health is and depends upon other Health Conditions and Lifestyle Factors! Tell me more about your health condition!

I have had Congestive Heart Failure and I have had it for many years.

I had my atrial vale and two bypasses in 2010 and have been fine if I watch my diet and get lots of exercise (I walk 35-50 miles per week). No issues
