Mr. Tsai, 55, sought medical attention for feeling unwell but ended up almost fainting with pale skin and weakness, diagnosed with chronic dilated cardiomyopathy leading to heart failure, with only one third of normal heart function. The condition, mostly genetic, poses risks including heart failure causing lung congestion, leading to breathing difficulties and potential respiratory failure requiring intubation, as well as the risk of sudden death. Treatment in a medical facility was followed by discomfort from medication, prompting a transfer and further investigations revealing the heart's compromised function. Doctors recommended innovative treatment that significantly improved heart function, underscoring the importance of regular check-ups and awareness of heart failure symptoms.
