In the 20+ years, 64 patients were treated, including both with reduced and preserved left ventricular function. Most patients had a 4 - 5 days hospitalization in their first admission with one readmission (1.6%) over seven years. This paper will help us understand the physiology and pathophysiology of congestive heart failure, especially how to use beta blockers and diuretics. It will shorten the length of hospitalization and lower the readmission rate and cost of CHF treatment. This paper will help us to open another research direction for CHF. %K Congestive Heart Failure %K Beta-Blocker %K Diuretics %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=135436
