Congestive Heart Failure
by Art Ring, Nov 17, 1999 12:00AM
My Mom passed away at the age of 49 from CHF ever since then I have lived in fear of developing the same disease.I am now 49 male and every once in a while have palpitations but no other
obvious heart problems.I had a stress test two years ago that
did not show any negatives.My question is how much risk do I have of developing CHF, given the history I just described.
Thank You
