A member asked:

Can a person live with congestive heart failure for a long time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If a person's heart failure is under good treatment/control and is mild at baseline class i or ii, then his or her failure may not significantly reduce lifespan. Preventing progression with a good regimen/care plan is key to minimizing the heart failure's impact.
