CHF: it is best to discuss this issue with your cardiologist who has the full picture of your diagnosis and the entire echocardiogram findings. EF alone is not enough. There are many causes of CHF and the advise depends on review of the entire clinical course and the echo findings

CHF: I am unsure what the cause of your CHF was but it appears your EF has improved and you're able to perform at Functional Class 1. If you can run for 6 miles without any symptoms that is excellent. Continue your current regimen and follow up with your cardiologist.
