What Is Congestive Heart Failure?
2. No Cure
As things stand, there is currently no cure for heart failure; the heart cannot be restored to its former ability. Having said that, it is still often treatable, and the patient will often go on to have a relatively normal life for many years to come.
It is most likely to be found in older people. After all, it is a long-term condition that gradually gets worse as time goes by. It can affect people of all ages, however, with some people even being born with the condition. When it does happen in children, it is sometimes necessary to take emergency steps to help save their lives.
