Rt sided heart failure due to back flow pressure.Its better you consult cardiothoracic
surgeon and find out wheather Baloon Valvoplaty is possible other wise drugs
like Diuretic.Lanoxin at times B-blockers are being use for conservative treatment,You
may use even ace inhibitors to improve her GC.Thanks
