Cardiac Cough with Fear: Cardiac cough associated with a feeling of fear, rapid shallow breathing, and a feeling of a failing heart, resistant to common remedies for asthma.

Heart Enlargement & Failure: Useful in the treatment of chronic failure and enlargement of the heart; the heart once enlarged does not return to its normal size (compare with Rhus Tox). Crataegus Q should also be used to strengthen the heart.
