Living a Full Life with Congestive Heart Failure (Paperback)

The importance of this internal organ that its rhythmic beating is the very essence of existence - a heart that beats is a symbol of life while one that may have stopped beating is indicative of a life snuffed out. There are many reasons leading to the latter and one of the most insidious as also the least discussed is a medical condition known as congestive heart failure. When the heart is deprived of the requisite amount of oxygen needed to carry out normal functioning, it feels congested and if ignored, this is the condition that will eventually lead to congestive heart failure. Many times it is the aftermath of an already existing cardiac condition and the prognosis often depends on the seriousness of the initial state. Therefore, doctors specialized in the field, namely cardiologists, often emphasize on prevention rather than cure as an effective way to avert its incidence. With existing therapies and new revolutionary developments like stem cell research and translational research, chances of recovery have also significantly improved.
