Dr. Payam Mehranpour answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Cardiology

Complicated: This is a very complex topic with books written on the subject. There are different types and causes of heart failure and depending on type, cause, and severity, treatment would vary. The most common cause of heart failure is coronary artery disease. Treatment is with medications +/- revascularization.
