Watch for these warning signs.
The symptoms of heart failure can range from mild to severe, although some patients may not have any symptoms at all. As heart failure develops, you may experience an unexpected weight gain. It is also common to suffer shortness of breath, swelling of the legs, ankles or abdomen, a loss of appetite, sleeplessness or a frequent dry cough. You may also feel fatigued after minimal physical exertion. It is always important to consult a physician for an accurate diagnosis.

It takes more than time to heal a broken heart.
There are a number of treatments for heart failure including medication, lifestyle changes and medical procedures. To achieve the best results, our specialists tailor treatment programs based on each of our patient’s needs. Our board-certified physicians are highly experienced with the latest advancements in medical and surgical treatments for heart failure, such as research studies, heart transplantation, pacemakers and artificial heart assist devices, such as left ventricular assist devices (LVAD).
