Congestive Heart Failure Medical Treatment Center in NYC
As you know, congestive heart failure (CHF) affects 5 million Americans every year.
CHF means failure of the heart muscle. The heart becomes literally congested with blood and dangerously weakened. The most common cause of heart failure is coronary occlusion, although valvular heart disease, especially mitral regurgitation, can cause CHF.
In regard to a coronary occlusion, when a large area of muscle is “killed” through a large
myocardial infarction or small repeated attacks, there is not enough heart muscle left to pump the blood out of the left ventricle. The pressure and volume of blood inside the heart’s pumping chamber build up, putting additional pressure on arteries and veins in the lungs. Thus this fluid leaks into the lungs causing the congestive heart failure process to begin.
A typical sign of CHF is shortness of breath either with minimal exertion or lying down at night. Other symptoms can be palpitations, and severe fatigue. As the heart muscle weakens, the pump function or ejection fraction decreases.
There are multiple conventional medications, through clinical trials, that have proven to be effective in treating heart failure. In addition to these medications, we utilize NT factor.
The onset of heart disease correlates with the accumulation of oxidative damage in the cardiac muscle cell membranes. This accumulation of oxidative damage decreases energy production in the cardiac cells. This is referred to as “energy starvation”. NT factor fixes the energy starvation because it restores mitochondrial function. In clinical studies it has been shown to restore a person’s energy. NT factor is a nutrient compound composed of food and food extracts of phosphoglycolipids, pre and probiotics. It addition to sustaining the mitochondrial membrane, it also maintains a healthy flora in the large intestines.
