Help with essay on congestive heart failure?

without comments

I need to write a paper on the following. Does anyone know of any good websites with good information:

“Your mother’s elderly aunt has congestive heart failure. Your mother asks you what does this mean? Explain in detail what has happened to the cardiovascular system, the normal compensations which occur but make the situation wore and value of medications and therapies prescribed by the physician in charge.

What does "wore" mean in this context?

How long can a young person live with congestive heart failure?

with one comment

My fiance is only 20 and has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. I’m in a panic because all of my online research says most people with this condition only live 5 or 10 years. Is this still true if you are diagnosed so young?
Does anyone know someone that was diagnosed with this early in life and live a long full life?
