Heart Failure Treatment In Surat - Navsari

Heart failure treatment is determined by the kind of heart failure and the severity of the condition. Treatment typically consists of lifestyle adjustments and medications such as diuretics to remove excess fluid, as well as a cardiac treatment or surgery. 

 

If another medical issue is causing the heart to fail, addressing that illness may help to reverse heart failure. Treatment success is dependent on your willingness to participate in disease management.


 

EECP therapy is an outpatient, non-invasive treatment for angina and heart failure. This process involves wrapping inflatable bags around your legs and inflating and deflating them in time with your heartbeat. 

 

The purpose of EECP therapy is to improve circulation and decrease the workload of the heart by increasing the efficiency with which blood flows through the heart. This treatment may be able to reduce angina symptoms and enhance oxygen flow.

 

Healthy lifestyle modifications

 

These heart-healthy lifestyle adjustments may be recommended by your provider alone or as part of a cardiac rehabilitation plan:

 

Reduce your sodium (salt) consumption. 

 

Salt may exacerbate fluid accumulation. View our fact sheet on Salt and Sodium Reduction.

 

Strive towards a healthy weight. 

 

because excess weight causes your heart to work harder.

 

Participate in frequent physical activity. 

 

Inquire with your doctor about how active you should be during daily activities, work, leisure time, sex, and exercise. Your amount of exercise will be determined by the severity of your heart failure. 

 

Outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programmes may be recommended by your provider to improve your exercise level and minimise your risk factors.

 

Stop smoking. 

 

For more information, see Smoking and Your Heart. 

 

Avoid or limit your consumption of alcohol. 

 

Your physician may advise you to limit or stop drinking alcohol. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism's Alcohol Treatment Navigator provides tools and support.

 

Manage risk elements that contribute to the overall risk. 

 

Controlling some of the risk factors for heart failure, such as blood pressure, cardiac rhythm, and anaemia, can often improve heart health.


 

Control your tension. 

 

Learning how to deal with stress and challenges can benefit both your mental and physical health. Relaxation techniques, counselling, and joining a support group can all help reduce stress and anxiety.

 

Get plenty of rest. 

 

Sleep apnea and other sleep disturbances are common in persons with heart failure. Treatment for your sleep disturbance improves your sleep and may help with your heart failure symptoms.





 

Medicines

 

Heart failure on the left side

 

The medications listed below are often used to treat heart failure with a low ejection fraction.

 

Medicines that remove excess salt and fluid from the body, such as diuretics and aldosterone antagonists (such as spironolactone), reduce the volume of blood the heart must pump. 

 

Extremely high diuretic doses may result in low blood pressure, renal damage, and worsening heart failure symptoms. Aldosterone antagonists can cause renal damage and elevated potassium levels.



 

Blood vessel relaxants make it easier for your heart to pump blood. ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are two examples. Cough, low blood pressure, and short-term impaired kidney function are all possible adverse effects.

 

Beta blockers and ivabradine, which reduce your heart rate, make it easier for your heart to pump blood and can help prevent long-term heart failure from worsening. A sluggish or irregular heart rate, high blood pressure, and hazy vision or seeing bright halos are all possible adverse effects.

 

Newer medications, such as sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide (GLP) agonists, have been approved to reduce blood sugar in diabetic individuals. They may also reduce hospitalisations for heart failure. Their application in the treatment of heart failure is now being researched.

 

Digoxin causes your heart to beat faster and to pump more blood. This medication is typically used to treat severe heart failure when other medications have failed to improve your symptoms. Digestive issues, disorientation, and visual problems are all possible side effects.


 

Heart failure on the right side

 

Your doctor may give two types of medications if you have right-sided heart failure.

 

Medicines that remove excess salt and fluid from the body, such as diuretics and aldosterone antagonists (such as spironolactone), reduce the volume of blood the heart must pump. 

 

Extremely high diuretic doses may result in low blood pressure, renal damage, and worsening heart failure symptoms. Aldosterone antagonists can cause renal damage and elevated potassium levels.

 

Blood vessel relaxants make it easier for your heart to pump blood. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers are two examples. Cough, low blood pressure, and short-term impaired kidney function are all possible adverse effects.
