Efficacy of a homeopathic Crataegus preparation compared with usual therapy for mild (NYHA II) cardiac insufficiency: results of an observational cohort study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Hospital management of CHF and predictors of hospital mortality remain unclear. METHODS:To address these issues, we analyzed the hospital admissions for CHF during 1996 in a large university hospital. Patients discharged with the principal diagnosis of CHF were considered eligible for the study. RESULTS:Am...
