I did lose my mom to heart failure last fall. She was in treatment the previous March with other serious health problems when CHF developed. The wonderful nurses looking after her got her accepted into a new CHF clinic run by Dr.Carhart at University Hospital in Syracuse. Mom was literally dying one minute, and sitting up and eating lunch and putting on her makeup an hour later. It was incredible and felt like a miracle to us! He uses a hormone that is given intravenously once a week and this gave my mom and us 6 months extra of a very good life quality. I cannot thank Dr. Carhart and the nurses at University Hospital enough.

My mother had the same treatment. I think the drug was called Primacor?? We had to take her 2x a week for IV.
She was receiving theses treatments for over a year.
Unfortunately, it didn't improve her quality of life. She was tired all the time. Just went downhill little by little.
Although, I feel very lucky to have been able to care for her when she needed it.
