If you’re living with heart failure, Endeavor Health is here to provide compassionate, expert care that’s centered around your needs.
Heart failure is a condition where the heart muscle gradually loses its ability to pump enough blood to supply the body's needs. This can occur when the heart becomes weak and unable to pump adequate blood or becomes stiff and unable to fill with blood. Both conditions lead to progressive heart failure symptoms. Heart failure is a treatable, chronic disease, and at Endeavor Health, our primary goal is to recover your heart function.
Over time, untreated heart failure can lead to a significant decline in quality of life and increased risk of death. Endeavor Health stands committed to providing the kind of care that helps you not only manage heart failure optimally but regain a vibrant life.
Endeavor Health uses advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to create a clear picture of your heart's health:
Noninvasive ultrasound imaging to evaluate heart function and visualize the flow of blood.
Provides detailed information about the heart, including the condition of the coronary arteries and the pressures within the chambers of the heart.
High-resolution imaging helps identify structural issues and further evaluate the cause of heart failure.
Comprehensive genetic testing helps to identify heritable genetic causes of heart muscle abnormalities and heart failure.
Provides objective data on the heart's exercise capacity and helps identify patients needing escalation in heart failure therapy.
Endeavor Health’s heart failure specialists offer a tailored, integrated treatment plan to help you optimally manage heart failure.
First and foremost, medications, lifestyle modification, support groups, and sometimes cardiac rehabilitation, can all help with heart muscle recovery.
For advanced heart failure patients with progressive symptoms despite medication management, we offer mechanical circulatory support as a valuable treatment option. Mechanical circulatory support devices, such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), can be used long-term to pump more blood to the rest of the body and improve heart failure symptoms.
Our team will help you decide which treatment option is best for you — whether it's medication, a medical device, LVAD or other interventions.
Addressing the cause of heart failure is the first step to determining the right treatment approach. Heart failure treatment often begins with medication to help manage symptoms, reduce fluid retention and improve the function of the heart.
