I will assume the Drs know what they are doing and are trying to balance the problematic aspects against the dire conditions they are treating. The difference between medicine and poison is dosage.

The difference is age… no amount of tweaking will prevent that loose rubber band of a heart from just no longer being up to the task of pushing & returning blood along 60,000 miles of blood vessels, already thickening with age & increasing resistance (in an average adult). 🩺

Agreed. Though its not just age. Its the damage that has occurred as well. I took a viral hit to my heart years ago which resulted in Cardio Myopathy. When we discovered it my Ejection Fraction was 35%. With proper meds and exercise I am back up in the 65% range.
