BiPAP Very Helpful for CHF
BiPAP is generally well-tolerated. Our newer masks are very comfortable and most patients prefer them. In fact, I set one up on a lady just prior to writing this. She initially resisted it but decided to give it a chance after feeling the improvement. Two hours later she was all better and had a bright smile as I removed the mask. That made my day.
Heart Rate
The warning signs of heart failure (HF) are different for everyone. One possible sign of HF is a rapid heartbeat at rest. A resting heart rate over 100 beats per minute is considered high. The medical term for this is tachycardia. 1,2 An increased heart rate is not always a concern.
