Patient Guide: Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a chronic condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to fluid accumulation in the body. Treatment for CHF involves lifestyle changes, medications, medical devices, or surgical procedures, with the goal of managing symptoms, improving heart function, and addressing underlying causes. Outcomes for CHF treatment vary depending on the severity of the condition and individual factors, but can include symptom improvement, slowed disease progression, and increased life expectancy.

Patient Guide: Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common condition that often presents with no noticeable symptoms, making regular monitoring essential for early detection and management. Treatment typically involves lifestyle modifications, such as adopting a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress, and may include medication to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. Effective communication with your healthcare provider is crucial for understanding and managing hypertension, as well as addressing any concerns or questions about your condition and treatment plan.
