INTRODUCTION

Thank you for taking this course to support your loved one! Someone you care about has been treated for Congestive Heart Failure, which we also call CHF. Congestive Heart Failure may sound scary - but it doesn't mean that the heart is about to stop. CHF is a condition that people can really live well with - they just need to know how. It's important for you to also understand the guidelines your loved one needs to follow now - so you can help and support him or her in making the necessary lifestyle changes.
