One thing we should keep in mind is that there are also very promising advances being made in drug treatments for heart failure. Here is one that was reported a few days ago in newspapers, and appears to be very cheap and effective... The New England Journal of Medicine Aldosterone and Spironolactone in Heart Failure "The overall risks of death, death due to progressive heart failure, and sudden death from cardiac causes were reduced by approximately 30 percent among spironolactone-treated patients, prompting the early termination of the study. There were similar reductions in the risk of hospitalization for cardiac causes, and a significantly higher percentage of patients in the spironolactone group than in the placebo group had an improvement in functional status." nejm.org
