Hello,
Congestive heart failure is a clinical syndrome with a poor prognosis. It is important to diagnose it early (years before) in order to slow its progression.
But, I don't think that a couple of weeks would make any change to his situation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
