I recently was diagnosed with diastolic heart failure(preserved ejection faction). I am on Jardiance. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate it. Another potential treatment. I see a cardiologist for the first time October. My internal medicine MD has been managing me (and diagnosed me).

Heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFmrEF and HFpEF) currently has limited treatment options with proven benefits. While medications used for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are often prescribed for HFpEF, the scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness is neutral. The treatment options for HFpEF depend on the underlying cause of the heart failure. Always discuss potential treatments with your doctor.

@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member, I had my extractions last Monday and everything went well. Three teeth out on both sides of my mouth. I am feeling well and had some pain but for the most part, I am almost over that. I have bone grafts as well so I have stitches and will have them removed on Wednesday of this week. Thanks for asking. How are you doing my friend? I hope you are having a nice weekend. Hugs🤗
