Just wondering how they diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. My EF is always normal though I have stenosis and will need surgery at some point

Dr Borlaug at the Mayo cardio cath lab diagnosed it ... involves measuring wedge pressure among other factors. Use to be called diastolic HF. Absolutely no effective treatment for it, although I am hopeful that CCM (cardiac contractility modulation devices) such as Impulse Dynamics’ Optimizer might finally be further developed to provide relief for fellow sufferers
