Heart failure requires lifelong treatment, and we’re here to help you manage your symptoms, live a full life and look for ways to help you regain some heart strength.
Understanding Heart Failure
Heart failure, also sometimes called congestive heart failure, is a type of heart disease where your heart can’t pump enough of the oxygen-rich blood the other organs in your body need.
Our specialists are experts in delivering excellent heart failure care close to home. We’re nationally recognized for our innovations to improve treatment options and quality of care. We’ll educate you about your heart failure and empower you to take a proactive role in managing it.
Some of the heart failure types and associated conditions we treat include:
- Amyloidosis (a disease that results from a buildup of a protein called amyloid in the organs)
- Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats, including atrial fibrillation
- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD, a rare genetic disorder in which the muscle of the heart’s right ventricle is replaced by fat and/or fibrous tissue)
- Cardiac sarcoidosis (an autoimmune disorder that involves the formation of clusters of white blood cells called granulomas in the tissue of the heart)
- Cardiogenic shock (a life-threatening condition in which the heart suddenly can’t pump enough blood to supply the rest of the body)
- Dilated cardiomyopathy (a condition in which the tissue of one or more of the heart’s ventricles becomes thinned and expanded)
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Inherited disorders
- Ischemic cardiomyopathy (a type of dilated cardiomyopathy in which the heart’s ability to pump blood is reduced, damaging the muscle)
- Myocarditis (inflammation of the myocardium, the middle layer of the heart wall’s muscular tissue)
- Peripartum cardiomyopathy (a rare form of heart failure that can occur during or after childbirth
- Preserved ejection fraction (formerly known as diastolic heart failure, a type of heart failure in which the heart pumps normally but is too stiff to fill with enough blood to supply the body)
- Reduced ejection fraction (sometimes called systolic failure, a decrease in the heart’s ability to pump enough blood to supply the rest of the body)
- Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM, a stiffening of the muscles of the heart’s ventricles, which means they can’t fill with enough blood to supply the body)
- Valve disease
