Heart Failure Management Insights by Dr Bhagirath Raghuraman

Heart failure is a serious condition where the heart can't pump blood effectively to meet the body's needs. This leads to symptoms like breathlessness, swelling, and fatigue.

Dr Bagirath Raghuraman, Senior Consultant, Cardiology Adult, Program Director, Heart Transplant at Narayana Health City, Bommasandra, Bengaluru, explains the evaluation and treatment options for heart failure. According to Dr Raghuraman, diagnosing heart failure involves several tests, including ECG, echocardiogram, and sometimes more detailed assessments like cardiac MRI and CT scans.
These tests help pinpoint the underlying causes and guide treatment strategies.

Lifestyle changes such as limiting fluid intake and reducing salt intake are essential for managing heart failure. Medical treatments include medications that form the cornerstone of therapy.
Advanced cases may require devices like defibrillators or ventricular assist devices to support heart function. In severe cases, a heart transplant might be the best option, followed by ongoing medication and monitoring to ensure the body accepts the new heart.

Dr Raghuraman emphasises the importance of early diagnosis and tailored treatment plans for improving the quality of life of patients with heart failure.
