Need more info: Heart failure is a syndrome with a variety of causes. In order to put this in context, it would be important to know medical history, symptoms and testing results. Important tests include ECG, echo and either stress or Cath. It's important to understand the background in order to provide guidance as to what you can do to help yourself.
