I have congestive heart failure. I have survived longer than anyone expected. I still have things to do!

[mck]

I work as a medical assistant at a cardiology clinic and this is by far the most clear and thorough explanation of heart failure I've ever seen/heard! This will help me better explain it to my patients. Thank you guys!

This is the first and only time anyone has endeavoured to explain to me why it's called "congestive" heart failure and exactly why fluid builds up in the body as a consequence of this disease. Seems like a minor point but it really helped me to remember what the disease is now that I understand that term and hearing someone say "congestive heart failure" doesn't make my heart sink to my stomach anymore because I feel like I've regained some control over understanding this subject. Thanks so much for this video!

My professor refuses to post anything online after class.
I love how I’m able to watch this as many times as I want! It hit all the points my professor taught in class. Thank you!!

my uncle passed away from chf on Monday (2 days ago) and man people need to take it more seriously. It sucks and it took away one of the major people in my life from me, one day he is in his chair because he can’t walk properly (from chf as well) he goes to bed and never wakes up. and boom he’s gone. It’s horrible but thank you for explaining it so more people might take it seriously, god bless 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

13:58. "Thanks for watching". No, thanks for your hard work creating this video.

[oopalonga]

i've watched hundreds of medical/science videos on youtube and no one explains it as well as Osmosis. Well done!_!

[wosuibian]

Bro, you have nailed it completely!!! U take care of little details and assume that the viewer does not know anything. This is the best part of your videos. I support you and your channel. Wish you all the very best in your endeavours!

[keepcalmsmokeon]

These videos are great, especially as a quick refresher before my licensing exam!

[JCeeZumba]

WOW!! I just discovered your youtube channel, and I'm impressed! Clear, concise and visually stimulating presentations! Keep up the great work!

These lectures are perfect for my Pathophysiology class as review. Thank you so much for making such great lectures.

[mohammed]

You've been very educational ; thanks alot. I finished med school about 3 years ago and your video tops every cardiology lecture I had to endure for 7 years.

[ginavanulzen]

Great way of breaking it all down and showing the relationships between the different types and outcomes!! Thank you

[gwynthegnome]

Thanks a million, Osmosis! Beautiful, thorough, concise. You’re helping us pharmacy students out too. :)

[raequanoutlaw]

I want to let you all know that this is an absolutely extraordinary explanation of congestive heart failure! Thank y'all so much!

[randypickett]

Thank you for your clear explanation. I have congestive heart failure and your video provided with a better and clearer explanation then I got from my cardiologist. I feel like I owe you a co-pay. Thanks

[vanessaforsythe]

Listening to this 1 hr before my cardio respiratory uni exam

[maxwelln]

Short, precise, profound and easy to understand.In my final year I found your videos so helpful and I wish I had them in my first year.From South Africa.

[TheLittleAbbi]

This is amazing, thank you so much for taking the time of doing videos like this, I have studied all day for cardiology and this sums up everything in a simple and elegant way.
I wish I had found you sooner. :)

[gabriellam]

Thank you so much for this video! I've really been struggling on understanding the different types of heart failure and this really made it so clear to understand!!
