Well you should have said this in the original post. By the way, have you been actually diagnosed with heart failure? Or are you just assuming that because your father and Grandfather had it, you will also have heart failure? There are numerous causes of heart failure, but I didn't know it was inherited. But I assumed you've discussed this with a cardiologist.
