About 5 million Americans suffer from congestive heart failure.
A new technology will help them to live healthier lives.
Up until now it was hard to treat congestive heart failure. Doctors used drugs and diuretics to treat patients.
The new treatment technique is called aquaphersis.
It helps patients with the buildup of excess fluid which accumulates in the lungs, liver and extremities.
Aquapheresis filters the blood of excess water and the patient’s weight significantly drops.
This new technique only takes a couple of hours, which is a lot faster than taking a standard diuretic.
