Our cardiology specialists provide personalised heart failure management plans based on the latest clinical evidence and tailored to each patient’s individual needs and condition.
Understanding Heart Failure
Heart failure does not mean that the heart has stopped working. Rather, it means the heart is less efficient at meeting the body’s demands.
Common symptoms include:
- Breathlessness
- Fatigue
- Swollen ankles and legs
- Reduced exercise capacity
- Persistent tiredness
- Fluid retention
Treatment Approach
Medical therapy is often the foundation of heart failure management and may include medications designed to:
- Improve heart function
- Reduce strain on the heart
- Control blood pressure
- Reduce fluid retention
- Lower the risk of hospital admission
- Improve long-term survival
Your treatment plan may be adjusted over time to achieve the greatest possible benefit while minimising side effects.
Comprehensive Heart Failure Care
In addition to medication, your cardiologist may recommend:
- Lifestyle modifications
- Dietary advice
- Exercise and rehabilitation programmes
- Remote monitoring
- Cardiac devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators where appropriate
Ongoing Monitoring
Regular follow-up appointments allow your specialist team to review symptoms, optimise medication and monitor heart function to ensure you receive the most effective treatment possible.
