This Video was VERY helpful in understanding and treating heart failure! Thank you for sharing it with us Caryn!❤️

@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member I am sorry I did not see or hear the recording. I found a good description that I will post on Monday. I suspect yours is related to the heart attack. Definetly, talk to the cardiologist about your specific case. Hugs🤗
I found it very informative. But then too, there a couple areas where I would like more information but, also realize all that I want to know may only pertain to me. I also realize that most doctors and quite a lot of nurses have compassionate hearts and find it very difficult to tell a patient their true status. On this point I usually debate myself on the topic, "Do I really need or want to know all the information?". I also ask myself the question "Am I really ready to hear my true status, even if it means it is bad news?". Ok, let me get back on the subject, I think both doctors presented a lot of information in a way most all of us can absorb what was said, gives us information and helps us be aware to what we need to ask.
@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member part of what I was wanting is in the recording I posted yesterday evening, the rest I will need to address to my cardiologist, I think it pertains to me, not to the general run of a condition.
