I did have a major heart attack too, though 13 years ago. Left bundle branch block from the prior heart attack sent me into acute congestive heart failure in October. My left side cardiac output was down to 18%. (Yeah, that’s pretty bad.)
But I got a biventricular pacemaker defibrillator in December and after Covid in April, finally got back on my e bike today.
I took it easy, only went 7 miles since I hadn’t ridden since August.
That biventricular pacemaker “cures” the left sided heart enlargement by restoring left-right side heart coordination and brings left sided cardiac output back up to your baseline.
Regardless, I think I have a good excuse for being a “Cheater”!
