  ABSTRACT: This paper is based on retrospective and observational data from the author’s 14 years of practice as a general cardiologist in a rural community hospital, which reported 62 cases with initial encounters as inpatients and followed as outpatients over 14 years, which applied the knowledge of physiology and pathophysiology to everyday practice in treating congestive heart failure (CHF). The 62 patients were reported to have had a normal life with a significantly lower readmission rate [1]. This paper illustrates the application of the author’s understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of cardiovascular and renal systems to the treatment of CHF patients. It intends to arouse attention in cardiology regarding our current treatment of CHF patients. It is hoped that this paper will help us improve the quality of life of millions of patients suffering from CHF and lower admission and readmission rates of CHF patients and the cost of CHF treatment by tens of billions of dollars annually.
