default
Posted on Thu, 24 Dec 2015
Question: I think my doctor has done everything required to treat my CHF ... with medicines to drain fluids, strengthen the heart muscles, tests to check ejection fraction, referral to an implant doctor for a BiV/ICD, etc. Is there anything else that should have / could have been done or can be done?
