CardioRenal Clinic for Heart Failure Management

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is the leading cause of hospitalization for those over the age of 65 and is a chronic disease needing lifelong management. However, by sometimes treating the underlying cause, heart failure can be corrected, signs and symptoms can improve, and the heart can even become stronger.

The treatment and management of heart failure involve a balance of the right medications and, in some cases, the use of devices that help the heart function properly, including:

• Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
• Angiotensin II receptor blockers.
• Beta-blockers
• Diuretics
• Aldosterone antagonists
• Inotropes
• Digoxin (Lanoxin)
