Coronary Disease/Heart Failure

Written by BreatheEasy

13 April 2009

Hi, My name is JoAnn, known here as BreatheEasy. I am a new member and was trying to find where I belong in all the Heart Groups with the type of Heart problems I have, which is Cor Pulmonale also known as Right Sided Congestive Heart Failure. I could not figure it out, so I did a search and found this wikipedia diagnostic chart. Cor Pulmonale is listed on the bottom, so I guess this group is it. I thought others may be experiencing the same thing...not knowing where to join. So I decided to post this article to kind of help us know where we might belong.

Hope it helps!
