This was helpful in that I appreciate having similar company on this journey. Already, reading your and Dizzy’s comments, I have a broader perspective on the disorder.
It’s interesting to me that Cleveland Clinic has an entire department for HFpEF. Not sure what research may be coming out of there. Wish they had a support group like this too! I like the thought of getting a second opinion from them, but road trip from CT not in my wheelhouse.

I am surprised there isn’t more attention to HFpEF. From what I read…it is a growing number of people with this. More than just the increased number of people over the age of 50…even adjusted for the population increase, the number of us is high and getting higher.

Two things I wonder about…but have seen no studies.
First is..we (over age 50) are the first generation to grow up eating industrial oil….that is..”vegetable” oil, corn oil. Sunflowers oil, saffron oil, etc. etc. the generations before us never had such a thing. The other is the saturation of micro plastics in our diet.
