Confused about Stiff Heart, Diastolic Heart Failure, or HFpEF?

All I can add is that I too wish that there would be some progress with treatment of diastolic heart failure. It seems as if there are not a whole lot of hopeful things on the horizon. I’m 72 so I’m seriously doubting that I’m a candidate for a heart transplant. Plus I’m not sure I would even want to go through that at this stage of my life. But I would love to think I have another 10 years with my family. I hate to sound greedy but I guess I am. Not looking that way at the moment

Hello @tcokeefe

I appreciate your post about diastolic heart failure. It sounds as if this is a significant problem for you. What is the most difficult symptom you are experiencing right now?

I share your sentiments about wanting more time than less. Disappointed they can’t fix more heart issues and the fact that we’re too old for heart transplant, although don’t know that I would be open to going through that.
