Hello, my older brother had heart problems ever since he was born (valvula problem). Unfortunately, those symptoms became worse as he got older, his symptoms were changes of the skin (blue lips), breathing problems, weakness… Are there some non-pharmacological measures to treat heart failure? I just wish for something that can help him...

Unfortunately, his condition is not something that can be dealt with non pharmacological measures. Actually, an operation is required and that procedure will remove damaged valvula with artificial one and with that he can lead a normal life. This is a better solution than to take medications for the rest of his life.
