Advanced heart failure management

Advanced heart failure management involves a combination of treatments to improve symptoms and quality of life when standard therapies no longer suffice. This includes medications tailored to reduce heart workload, devices like implantable defibrillators or ventricular assist devices to support heart function, and in some cases, heart transplantation. Care also emphasizes managing other health issues, lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring. In addition, palliative approaches focus on comfort and symptom relief. These strategies aim to optimize heart performance, prolong life, and enhance daily functioning for patients facing severe heart failure.
