Our popular Twitter Chat is back again! Join HFSA and other heart failure-focused organizations on Twitter for a lively discussion on heart failure.
The purpose of the chat is to provide healthcare providers and heart failure patients with an overview on the status of heart failure and to discuss ways to improve quality of care and expand heart failure awareness.
Check out the full recap for #HFChat2023!
Questions
- Our #HFWeek2023 theme is Heart Success: #FunctionNotFailure. What is the importance of focusing on heart function and not failure?
- What is something that can be difficult when patients are first diagnosed with heart failure, but will get easier over time?
- How can healthcare providers encourage patients to take a more active role in their treatment plan?
- As patients go through their journey, what are some milestones they should work toward, or take as “big wins?”
- When should someone be concerned about genetic cardiomyopathies if a member of their family has been diagnosed?
- What can healthcare providers do to best care for their patients living with heart failure?
- Peripartum cardiomyopathy refers to the development of heart failure due to pregnancy. How common does this occur and what would you tell women about it whom are currently pregnant?
