Heart Failure Clinic

What is Heart Failure ?

The heart is a muscle that pumps blood into the body. It supplies oxygen and nutrient – rich blood to the body, which is needed for energy and growth. Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump effectively to meet the body’s requirements. As a result fluid starts to accumulate in the lungs and fluid leaks into other areas of the body.

Symptoms of heart failure include:

• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue
• Rapid heart beat
• Swelling Legs

Our Heart Failure Clinic

At Blue Valley, we have a dedicated multidisciplinary team of cardiologists, specially trained nurses, social workers, nutritional specialist and physical therapists committed to helping heart failure patients manage this condition and live a prolonged healthy life. Leveraging our expertise and extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure conditions, we address our patients’ heart failure symptoms and provide the required medications to effectively manage this condition in our patients. We train and educate our patients (and their families) on self management methods, the needed lifestyle changes and give them special instructions, information, resources and monitoring mechanisms to effectively manage their condition. We also provide home visits as and when needed.

Our hospital is the primary referral centre of all neighbouring hospitals and clinics for heart failure patients. Through our Heart Failure Clinic, we offer heart failure patients an opportunity to both prolong their lives and improve their quality of life.
