A member asked:

Are there any natural supplements that can prevent my child from getting congestive heart failure?

8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: Children shouldn't be getting congestive heart failure so nothing should really be given to prevent this for the pediatric age group.

Dr Rutledge and 5 doctors agreed

Confusing question: If your kid has a condition where congestive heart failure is a possibility, it is important that you clear any alternative medicines with his/her treatment team.Many powerful heart medications were initially found in plants.Those that are strong enough to do good are strong enough to do harm if used incorrectly.
