I have CHF, nearly a lifelong diagnosis. My ejection fraction ranges from 40-65, depending on some environmental factors such as diet, other diseases, etc. The CHF with preserved ejection fraction is, among other things, known as highly probably marker of Gelsolin, RyR2, and Fukutin Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. (They come together, most of the time) Helsinki and OMIM have some good articles on this.

---Thanks for the information. My CHF was diagnosed last year and, apparently, progressed from HCM. As mentioned elsewhere, my chief symptoms are --and always had been-- dizziness (with head discomfort), chest pains and fatigue. Since the CHF diagnosis, there is also difficulty lying flat in bed and, for a time, some edema. What have your symptoms been, and what medications have helped to control them? Very happy that you mentioned the data regarding preserved ejection fraction. Again, thanks. best, archer.
