Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Acupuncture is believed to increase blood pressure in people who struggle with low blood pressure. This is a common problem facing people with heart failure, and sometimes these people need to take medications to artificially increase their blood pressure. This study is designed to determine if using acupuncture in people with heart failure can improve their blood pressure enough to not require medications to artificially increase blood pressure.
