Heart failure is a progressive condition where the myocardial wall cannot pump sufficient oxygenated blood to meet physiological metabolic demand. Recognizing early symptoms dramatically improves treatment outcomes.
Primary Warning Signs
- Exertional Dyspnea — Shortness of breath during basic daily activities or when recumbent.
- Peripheral Edema — Fluid retention and swelling in ankles, legs, or abdomen.
- Arrhythmia & Palpitations — Tachycardia compensation as the ventricle attempts to maintain cardiac output.
Diagnostic & Therapeutic Options
At Medzoria Hospital Heart & Vascular Institute, initial diagnostic evaluation includes high-definition transthoracic echocardiography, cardiac MRI, and coronary angiography.
Treatment combines guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) including beta-blockers and SGLT2 inhibitors with interventional cardiac revascularization or cardiac resynchronization devices where indicated.
