I have recently had very good, comprehensive testing...but now, that it finally has been determined that I do have the HEFpEff form of Heart failure...Why , when I was first diagnosed with AFIB, was I not given these tests earlier on? I then could have pursued an Ablation operation, that might well have helped me avoid my eventual falling into heart failure...I have been dealing with the AFIB situation for nearly five years....at no time did any of my cardiologists suggest having an ablation...now I am being strung along with drug therapy, and only now am I being steered towards having an ablation--maybe too late to do me much good.
