Yes, that is correct! I have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HfPEF). My heart still pumps a normal amount of blood and oxygen. However, it gets backed up and congested. I still do not know why! Sorry to hear you had all the bad reactions from taking Spironolactone. Are things any better for you since switching from Spironolactone? I hope you feel better!

Oh by far not even close. My HF doctor at Mayo Jacksonville originally prescribed the Spironolactone with expectations may help remodeling my heart. As I mentioned I had very single side affect listed for the medications with major ones of severe nipple pain, and back pain.
The new medication I got no side affects from. My HF also added Jardiance to my medications with same hope that would help improve modeling of heart. I have had the same ejection fraction (EF) for over 10 years. Very low at 22% but does not prevent me from doing anything physically other than jogging for a long distance.
I was told since I have ben avid exerciser all my life my body was able to adapt to the lower EF.
