Hello, my father has heart problems, he feels tired and as if he is suffocating. All that happened suddenly, so we went to the doctor who said that it is congestive heart failure. Supposedly, it is a very delicate condition that has to be treated, but he also said that some additional tests have to be performed. How can congestive heart failure be detected?

First, an evaluation has to be done, to determine if there are all symptoms of this condition. ECG can show if there is this illness present and at what stage, roentgen diagnostic might help too, echocardiography, heart catheterization… With these, test diagnose can be confirmed and after that, therapy might be set for him.
