Was a little lengthy but well worth watching. First place I have not seen discussing pacemaker, ICD, and CRT-D in the same place up until now.

I had heard a lot of good comments about Jardiance, but I cannot take it, side effect, doctor said to stop it, and place it on my allergic list. I was prescribed it for diabetes. Glad to see Suee and Caryn can take it.

I was placed on Jardiance as my heart was not beating as strong. The Jardiance dose gave my heart more strength so it will become more stable and stronger once again.

From my understanding Jardiance is a medicine for diabetes, with benefits for the heart also, the same as Ozempic. It is good to see where a drug was approved for one thing, and after further testing it shows benefits for other conditions.

Sue, the best part about Jardiance is that it works on both right and left-sided heart failure.

@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member, sorry, let me try again. I was referring to the two types of heart failure: left-sided (pumping side) and right-sided (filling side). This medication works on both types. You doctor is correct this will keep things working so much better!
