Congestive heart failure is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in western countries. The profound impact that congestive heart failure has on life expectancy and quality of life has been a continuous stimulus for the development of new drugs for the treatment of this condition. Despite ...
Heart failure (also termed congestive heart failure) means the pumping action of the heart cannot meet the body's demand for blood; it does not mean that the heart fails to pump - it does mean a failure in an aspect of the heart's ability to complete an otherwise normal function. The ...
The heart failure life expectancy calculator is a simple, yet effective, tool for predicting the 1-year and 3-year survival odds of someone with congestive heart failure. In the article below, we will focus on congestive heart failure/CHF prognosis, the estimates on how long can you live wit...

to make a difference. There are so many people out there who still think that animals are no more than possessions to do with as we please. So sad. We just had a dog with heart failure come into the centre. I'd be interested in getting your view on what its life expectancy might ...

Our study, now published in The Lancet Public Health, assessed how a number of multiple long-term health conditions (psychosis, diabetes and congestive heart failure) develop over time, and what effect this can have on life expectancy. We chose these conditions because, together, they can lead...
