Living a Full Life with Congestive Heart Failure

Following hospitalization at The Miriam Hospital and months of hard work at the Center for Cardiac Fitness, Kevin DeJesus was ready to move forward with his new, healthier lifestyle. Kevin was quickly reminded that sometimes things don't go as planned. www.cviri.org

Good to hear ❤

Thanks for offering such a hopeful and positive outlook on a congestive heart failure diagnosis. I was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure after a break-through case of covid delta pneumonia that I struggled with for 2.5 months. I had to do a lot of my own research and finally put the timeline together. It's a scary diagnosis. My cardiologist has prescribed Entrestro which I CAN'T afford ($575/month) and I've done some research on the drug trials and have some concerns about the transparency of the trial (4 researchers were employees of the manufacturer) and some strange disparities in the results. I don't know what I'll end up doing but thanks for a positive story! FYI, I'm a 63 year old female.

It may be worth looking to see if you can get a coupon for Entresto. I also am on Jardiance and that really seemed to help me.

Have you looked into the Affordable Care Act to see what it can offer?

How are you now 8 years later? I'm new at this. That was one of the 1st things they looked at. My veins though are very clean. Amazing at 62 and a poor eater. It's the lower left hand chamber struggling. Indeed always hope. Always

Once I see anything is over three years I don't watch it it's outdated your life expectancy when you're at the end of stage has heart failure is 5 years or less if you catch it early as 10 years

Plant based diet can reverse heart disease
