What to expect in the final stages of heart failure? 13 Signs and Symptoms of Dying
#death #dying

Heart Failure is a chronic disease of the heart. This means that there is no cure and it is expected for the heart to slowly lose it's ability to function properly. The worse the heart functions, the more a person will experience symptoms of heart failure. Some people never reach the final or terminal stages of heart failure, others do.

End Stage Heart Failure or Congestive Heart Failure can cause a number of symptoms at the end of life that may be different from someone without heart failure. In this video, we will talk about what to expect when someone is dying of heart failure and the symptoms to expect at the end of life. It's important to note that every person is different, and therefore the severity of the symptoms described in this video may vary from person to person. Not every person will experience all of the symptoms discussed here, but if a person has end stage heart failure, they will likely experience many of them.

I hope this video will be a resource for you and provide you with education to start to prepare for the dying process and terminal heart failure.
