Healthy Body: Understanding Congestive Heart Failure and the Benefits of Aquatic Therapy

Dr. Becker explains how a heart in Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) improves with immersion. In mild to moderate class I to III cases, the ejection fraction (EF) increased dramatically when patients were immersed in water. The heart became more efficient – the heart shrunk and pumped more blood. This is part 5 of his World Aquatic Health Conference (WAHC) 2011 presentation.
