Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My Mother 80, was diagnosed last night at an ER with CHF. I am looking for clear information for her to help relieve her anxiety. She does not see her family Dr until next week. What sight is the best for accurate information so she can understand this better and be informed?
Check out patient education on UptoDate and Mayo clinic websites . Please make sure she understands that heart failure does not mean that her heart is going to stop right away. I means that her heart pump is not working properly. Also medications can improve the heart function.
