Congestive Heart Failure Treatment Program

A diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF) can be frightening. However, heart failure doesn’t mean your heart has stopped – it means one or more chambers of your heart can't keep up with the volume of blood pumping through. When fluid builds up in your body, you may feel weak and out of breath. Fortunately, there are more options for congestive heart failure treatment than ever before.

Today, heart failure can be treated with good results. Controlling your medications can improve congestive heart failure symptoms, and lifestyle changes – including exercise, a low-salt diet and weight loss – can lead to improved quality of life for most patients with congestive heart failure.
