nothing can be done, I have the same and that has caused me to study the medical literature. Absent a miracle, you, like me, have no way out. we will both be dead in 5 years at best , or more probably, within one year; possibly tonight, r, Booth

Hello @rbb1938,

I see that you are relatively new to Connect and this is just your second post. As I read your post, I see that you have done some research on heart conditions. Since you feel that you only have a short time to live, I'm wondering if you have some other heart-related problems?

This discussion group is about diastolic heart failure, stiff heart. I have had diastolic dysfunction (most likely due to aortic valve dysfunction) for nearly 20 years now and with the right meds, it is under control to a certain extent. My exercise and activity level is not what it used to be, but I'm content with what I can do.

If you care to share more about your heart health that might help put your comments in perspective. If you are comfortable sharing more, will you post again?
