It will take place in the Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH) Auditorium, at 327 Reynolds St. Congestive heart failure (CHF) or heart failure is when your heart does not pump as strongly as it should so your body does not get the right amount of blood and oxygen it needs to work properly. Heart failure may result from one or the sum of many causes. It is a disorder that can affect not only the state of the heart, but the condition of the circulation, lungs and other organs as well. It is estimated that there are 400,000 Canadians living with congestive heart failure. "Heart failure is on the rise and although effective treatment exists, heart failure remains a progressive condition for many," said Heffernan. "We are fortunate to have an outstanding multidisciplinary team at the Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital's Heart Function Clinic to manage the care of these patients."
