My little Aija was diagnosed with CHF because of a ruptured cordea tendonae when she was about 6 years old,I think. She was started on Vasotec and Lasix, she had an almost "complete recovery", in spite of that floppy valve, after 4 years. I was able to stop her Vasotec as she was "compensating" and was essentially aymptomatic....we continued the Lasix but went from daily to twice a week, and she lived until she was 16 (? 17 ?) years old. Praying for little Wylie, but I think there is plenty room for a positive outlook and outcome. |
