Having untreated coronary disease or having small heart attacks that don't reduce the overall ejection fraction can still lead to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and that is symptoms of breathlessness, tiredness or fatigue as well as of course chest pain whilst having symptoms of fluid overload and an elevated antiprobian p-level. It may well be necessary in these patients to treat them with stents in order to open up the arteries and restore the blood supply to the heart muscle and help improve the overall circulation.
