What is the outlook for my grandmother who was diagnosed with chf?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: Ask the physician about the specific type of chf, the ejection factor, the tolerability and effectiveness of medications, any damages from valves and co-morbidity of chronic medical conditions just as liver and kidney diseases.

CHF future: Survival with CHF depends on the cause of the CHF and the patients condition. She'll require good treatment and follow up. Today we do well with chf, much better than in the 70's for instance but some folks do better than others. Talk to her doctor for her specifics.
