A member asked:
My ejection fraction is about 60 to 65%. there is stage i diastolic dysfunction. can i lose the weight and get of blood pressure meds to cure this or is this officially heart failure. no signs or symptoms?

The cited range for ejection fraction is 55-75% as a function of a dynamic process. (no-one gets to 100) The numbers you cite is in that range. Heart failure occurs when the pump fails to supply the end organs with adequate blood flow to function normally. Your numbers and symptoms do not support that label. Losing weight is a reasonable way to improve your numbers.
