Case of CHF involving my grandmother is the main subject of talking in our house these days. She is 77 years old and she has been experiencing cardiac trouble since she was fifty. Now, it is CHF and I wonder how dangerous this illness is. She is old, but still she can see many years more, right?
CHF, or Congestive Heart Failure is a serious heart illness that must be treated properly in order of avoiding tragic complications. On one side, treatment can include rest, effective diet, organized daily activities (walks, for example) and medications such as vasodilators, beta blockers, diuretics etc. This kind of treatment is used for mild and light case of CHF. In really serious ones, even heart transplantation is needed.
Is CHF and Heart Disease the same thing?
