Neue Therapien gegen Herzinsuffizienz | Asklepios

Heart failure usually becomes noticeable when walking or climbing stairs. Breathing becomes difficult and shortness of breath occurs. In Germany, around 1.8 million people suffer from heart failure. Heart failure is not a disease in itself, but is usually the result of a pre-existing condition. Treating its causes is therefore considered the most important component of therapy.
