Heart Failure Care
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart can’t pump enough blood to support our body. When heart failure occurs, it can cause blood and fluid to back up into the lungs, edema (buildup of fluid in the feet, ankles, and legs), tiredness, dizziness, or shortness of breath.
How To Live Well With Heart Failure
Take your medications as directed
Follow your prescribed diet
Limit fluid intake
Weigh yourself daily
Exercise regularly as advised by your care team
Watch for symptoms and contact your provider if there are changes
Don’t miss your scheduled appointments, as they may be frequent at first
Understanding Your Heart Zones
Do a daily self-check. Call your provider if you are in the yellow zone. Waiting until the red zone may lead to hospital admission.
