Heart failure treatment

Treatment for heart failure often begins with medications to ease the workload on the heart. These may include ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, diuretics (to reduce fluid buildup), and aldosterone antagonists to improve heart function and symptoms.
Lifestyle changes are crucial, such as reducing salt intake to prevent fluid retention, following a heart-healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol and tobacco use.
Regular physical activity, under medical guidance, helps improve stamina and circulation, though activity levels should be tailored to the patient’s capacity and heart condition.

For patients with severe symptoms or specific types of heart failure, advanced therapies such as implantable devices like pacemakers or defibrillators may be recommended to help regulate heart rhythm and improve pumping ability.
Monitoring weight daily is important, as sudden weight gain may signal fluid buildup. Patients are also advised to track symptoms like swelling, fatigue, and shortness of breath and report changes promptly.
Routine follow-ups, blood tests, and imaging like echocardiograms help doctors monitor how well the heart is responding to treatment and adjust medications or strategies as needed.
