As little as 5 years ago, heart failure patients were relegated to a slow death. The best conventional medicine could do is hope to delay it, the best Naturopathic medicine could do was stabilize it or delay death a little more than our conventional colleagues. Reversing was a rare occurrence.

It’s exciting times in cardiology with optimism due to new approaches to Congestive Heart Failure.
