Cardiopulmonary Care


If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) it can be frightening. CHF refers to the state in which decreased heart function is accompanied by the buildup of body fluid in the lungs and elsewhere. This is a serious condition that has no cure, but you can live a full and enjoyable life with the right treatment and ongoing attention to your lifestyle.
