This paper argues that by applying lymphatic drainage massage (LDM) during hospitalization period, along with drug treatment, we can make the HF peripheral edema disappear faster. The study was conducted on 20 patients diagnosed with left CHF. class III, presenting edema of legs and feet, out of whom 10 were given drug treatment and LDM, and 10, just drug treatment. During the research we recorded perimetric measurements for both groups of patients. After applying the LDM we observed that the peripheral edema disappeared much faster in the experimental group patients, than in the control group patients.
