The Heart and Vascular Center's Comprehensive Heart Failure program provides evaluation, management and treatment for patients with heart failure, a disease of the heart muscle which does not allow the heart to adequately support the rest of the body's functions. Our goal is to provide each patient with a tailored treatment plan addressing a patient's physical, mental and emotional needs with nurse-led clinics, telemanagement, nutrition counseling and social services.
