Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Critical to the success of managing heart failure is appropriate outpatient follow up. Various models of care integrate medical care, pharmacologic intervention, and patient education and support. Key factors in any program are frequent patient assessment with rapid response to even subtle changes in the patient's condition. As the disease progresses, alternative care options such as palliative care and hospice should be integrated into the patient's care regimen. |
