My cousin went into congestive heart failure at age 19 six years ago. You never would’ve known how sick he was because he was away at school and pulling straight A’s. It ended up being an issue with his valves and he had two valves replaced at the Cleveland clinic. He’s been doing great ever since and has lived a healthier life because of it. He lost a lot of weight and started eating healthier.

I was diagnosed with CHF in late 2017. Had a cath and showed as 25% E.F.. I had to wear a defibrillator vest for 3 months and started on Carvedilol, Losartan Potassium and Spironolactone and the last 3 Echocardiograms have been normal results. Before I took 1 hour inside the shower and couldn't do anything without getting seriously out of breath. Now I can shower normally grocery shop while walking instead of riding..so much has changed but you've still given me info here I didn't know about. God Bless you Doctors and thank you from the U.S..❤

Finally a video that describes this disease so someone without a medical degree can understand it. I loved this video. My mother has type 2 heart failure. They tell her there is nothing they can do for her. I have researched to try to find out what to expect through this journey through its entirety but haven’t been able to find anything. Yes I know it will get worse but I just want to make her as comfortable as possible. What are her limitations like taking care of herself. Will she be so out of breath that she will not be able to bathe or just do everyday things bc I feel like we are there or she has just given up. How do I tell the difference? I think it’s important for people to know what to expect and what to do when caring for someone with CHF. Please do a video on caring for someone with CHF.

Thanks for explaining this in terms that are understandable. You guys do this in a fun way, but very informative. Thank you.

Again an awesome, informative video. My dad has congestive heart failure. I’m visiting him actually right now in the Netherlands. He received a pacemaker four years ago. He is on several medications. Holding his own by the looks of it. So nice to better understand what’s going on with him. He just turned 87, I hope he will be able to add a few more years to that!

I just found out that my loss of strength in my legs, going up and down stairs, and getting up from the floor was not because I wasn’t exercising enough. It was because I have CHF with an ejection fraction of between 20-25%. I was in shock, and scared! I just turned 81 and don’t want to be given a death sentence. Your discussion gives me hope, and I learned that I am taking a beta blocker as well as the latest new drug meant for diabetics so my doctor is on top of the latest in heart care. You present the information so well, and I’m more hopeful now about my heart health.❤️😊

I am 3/4 done nursing school and was writing a research paper on CHF. I googled Dr. Mike and I didn't realize you guys were just down the road from KW in the GTA. I really appreciated the Dr. Mikes explanation. Also I had my first OR experience where I was an observer and not the one laying on the table under anesthesia. I got to watch a TKA and the mechanical side of surgery especially ortho, made me want to take the OR course and maybe someday be a scrub nurse in the OR, and have to memorize the 200 instruments that were in front of me for your specialty. I loved every minute of it!
