My uncle in Indonesia passed away from a heart failure last month. He was 59. The news came unexpected for our family. Although he had been diagnosed with high blood pressure, it never affected him as much.

But then again, what do I know about heart failure?

Most people would think that coronary artery disease, hypertension, and cardiomyopathy can lead to it. But frequently the causes are unknown. Such was the case with Hungarian Olympic champion canoeist György Kolonics who died last week. Without doubt, a canoe world champion would have been in healthier condition than myself.

Therefore, a bit more information on this subject wouldn’t hurt. Watch this heart failure video to learn more, and forward heartlibrary.com to everyone that might benefit from the info.
