Hello, new to group. I am 80. Four years ago had afib to point that I need catheter ablation. OK for two years, another ablation procedure. No current afib. However I have been diagnosed with enlarged heart. I have been active all my life. High school and college sports, infantry officer for seven years and marathon runner. My problem now is fluid developing in my one leg and ankle. I have water pills which my cardiologist told me to take only as needed. My latest LVEF is 50%. I am concerned about this fluid issue. Comments please. PS I guess I have CHF, which is hard for me to realize.

Welcome @jhoffmanj.
I moved your message to this discussion thread so you can meet @twptrustrek @irishblueileen @billmichalski @martishka @peggyd who have also been talking about afib and ablations. I'm sure they'll join me in welcoming you and hopefully have some thoughts about the fluid buildup and accepting CHF.
thanks for moving my message to discussion thread.
You're welcome. It's an amazing and knowledgeable discussion.
