As we say, it’s important to know your numbers, such as glucose (blood sugar), cholesterol and blood pressure. It’s vital to decrease stress levels and take your medicines as prescribed. Follow up with your doctor as needed.
Our Heart Failure Clinic
Your heart failure treatment with us doesn’t end when you leave the hospital. We offer a Heart Failure Clinic that’s designed to keep you out of the hospital, so you stay healthier long-term.
We encourage all our heart failure patients to participate in the clinic within 10 days of leaving the hospital since most re-hospitalizations happen within the first 30 days after discharge. We will run several diagnostic tests, including blood tests and X-rays, to assess your heart failure recovery. Based on the results, we may make changes to your care plan.
Heart failure is a lifelong condition, so you are welcome to come back to the clinic for routine check-ups and treatment changes.
