Heart failure can be categorized into different stages, with minimal or early heart failure often referred to as Stage B. Here are some key points about Stage B heart failure:

- Stage B Heart Failure: This stage involves changes in heart function but without symptoms. Many people are unaware they are in this stage unless changes are discovered by a doctor.
- Ejection Fraction (EF): People in Stage B often have an EF below 40 percent. EF measures how much blood the heart pumps out with each heartbeat.
- Causes: Changes in the left ventricle, damage from conditions like myocarditis, exposure to toxic chemicals, medications, or a heart attack, and faulty valves can contribute to Stage B heart failure.

For more detailed information, please refer to your healthcare provider.

I am happy you are not having any pain I also take Cardivol and a .325 Asprin and diuretic. Feel good except for fatigue. It has ben a long winter here in Montana and I have not done my walking which I love Soon slowly we are seeing Spring and hope to get out and walk a little. I also do not have any ehart pain that is why I was so surprised to receive the heart failure diagnosis. but mine is stated as only minimal which I still am not sure what that means. Low salt diet sndd feeling good. I pray you are doing good for a long time. Have a blessed Easter Take care of you.
