Have you followed up on the problem? Because not all cases of heart failure are the same.

In 2021, I posted (to you, I believe) that my clogged valve had caused heart failure, with likely permanent damage. My cardiologist was not overly concerned about it because the surgery had removed the cause of the failure. At this point, I am confident that I could play tennis or backpack up a small mountain. I'm okay. Even my lousy sleep habits are improving.

That's why I asked you if you had been examined to determine the cause of your congestive heart failure. If the cause was the blockages that you had bypassed, then your heart may not get any worse and may even improve. And even if your heart can't improve, the cause of your CHF should be determined in case the cause can be treated to stop the deterioration.

You need to learn about your condition and not just take an "Oh well. I guess I've only got five years" attitude. There may well be things you and your doctors can do to significantly extend that.
