What is Congestive Heart Failure?
... If you have congestive heart failure, you’re not alone. About 5.0 million Americans are living with it today. In fact, it’s one of the most common reasons people 65 and older go into the hospital. It can take years for heart failure to develop. So if you don’t yet have it but are at risk for it, you ...
