Specialists in Heart Failure Treatment
Several types of medications can help relieve the symptoms of heart failure and prevent symptoms from getting worse. These include diuretics, ACE-inhibitors, beta-blockers, and intravenous (IV) therapy. Some patients with heart failure may be able to manage the condition with medications and lifestyle changes. For those with symptoms that cannot be controlled by medications, there are many newer, effective treatment options.
