Heart Failure
At Srinidhi Heart and Child Clinic, we specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of Heart Failure, a chronic condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. Led by Dr. V Sravan Kumar, our compassionate team is committed to providing comprehensive care aimed at improving symptoms, enhancing quality of life, and reducing the risk of complications associated with heart failure.
Diagnosis and Evaluation
Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment: We employ advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to accurately assess the severity and underlying causes of heart failure. This includes echocardiograms, blood tests, electrocardiograms (ECG), and cardiac MRI.
Echocardiogram: A non-invasive ultrasound test that evaluates the heart’s structure and function, providing valuable information about heart failure severity and underlying abnormalities.
Blood Tests: Assessment of biomarkers such as BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide) and troponin levels to help diagnose heart failure and monitor disease progression.
Electrocardiogram (ECG): Recording of the heart’s electrical activity, which can reveal abnormalities indicative of heart failure.
Treatment Options
Medication Management: Prescription of medications to alleviate symptoms, improve heart function, and slow disease progression. This may include ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, diuretics, and aldosterone antagonists.
Lifestyle Modifications: Personalized recommendations for lifestyle changes, including sodium restriction, fluid management, regular exercise, and smoking cessation, to improve heart health and overall well-being.
Device Therapy: Implantation of devices such as pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices to help regulate heart rhythm and improve cardiac function.
Surgical Interventions: In some cases, surgical procedures such as heart valve repair or replacement, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), or ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation may be necessary to treat underlying structural abnormalities and improve heart function.
Ongoing Care and Support
Regular Follow-ups: Scheduled visits to monitor symptoms, assess treatment effectiveness, and make necessary adjustments to the care plan.
Patient Education: Providing comprehensive information about heart failure, treatment options, medication management, dietary guidelines, and symptom recognition to empower patients in managing their condition.
Cardiac Rehabilitation: Access to structured exercise programs, nutritional counseling, and emotional support to help patients recover from heart failure and improve overall cardiovascular health.
Emergency Care: Immediate attention and intervention for acute exacerbations of heart failure or complications, ensuring timely and effective treatment to prevent hospitalizations and improve outcomes.
At Srinidhi Heart and Child Clinic, we are dedicated to providing expert care for patients with heart failure. Our goal is to optimize heart function, alleviate symptoms, and enhance the overall quality of life for our patients. Trust our experienced team to deliver personalized and compassionate cardiac care.
