How serious is right heart failure in a woman?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pretty serious.: Failure is never good. But the underlying cause of failure is more important than the failure itself. Understanding the cause, be it valvular, pulmonary or l sided is the key to how serious it is and guides treatment. Heart failure in a woman is the same as in a man until pregnancy comes along.
