Center for Heart & Vascular Health

Heart Failure Outpatient Centers

The Heart Failure Outpatient Centers offer personal appointments with a nurse practitioner experienced in caring for people with heart failure. The nurse practitioner works closely with your primary cardiologist to ensure that you are receiving the best care possible. You will continue to have regular appointments with your cardiologist.

At the Heart Failure Outpatient Center, you will receive a complete physical examination, and your nurse will review your medications to ensure that you are getting the maximum benefit without potential side effects. You will also receive counseling and education about:

• Recognizing signs of worsening heart failure.
• Making lifestyle changes to help you manage your disease.
