PREVIEW

As the population ages, the number of cases of congestive heart failure (CHF) is expected to climb. Primary care physicians will be increasingly called upon to treat patients with this serious cardiac derangement. In this article, Drs Ward and Anderson discuss the latest approaches to treatment, which are based on the current understanding that CHF results from left ventricular dysfunction, which causes a complex activation of multiple neurohormonal reflexes.
