Heart function returned to normal
It took a few years from being hospitalized with heart failure with an ejection fraction of 25 for my heart to return to normal ejection fraction of 55 and normal shape and size of the heart muscle. I'm obviously incredibly grateful for the modern medications, Entresto and Jardiance specifically, that made this possible. The worst part of this was being told by the internet, heart organizations, the intro to all study data and doctors that I would never get better and that average life expectancy was dismal. None of that is true, it's based on old data and on older people who by virtue of age had low life expectancy anyway. Even before the new meds there was actuary data showing a woman with no comorbidities had approximately the same life expectancy as other women her age. The way doctors continue to talk to patients about this is awful, as well as inaccurate. The name itself is awful. It needs to change. Individual people have individual odds of getting better based on their individual case, age, comorbidities, etc. Grateful this sub has been here to provide some hope.
