cONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE Q&A
What causes congestive heart failure?
You can develop congestive heart failure following an illness that damages the heart, like a viral infection or a heart attack. However, most people develop CHF over a period of time from an underlying medical condition, such as:
Coronary artery disease (CAD)
Valvular heart disease
Cardiomyopathy
Hypertension
High cholesterol
Diabetes
Obesity
Cardiomyopathy is a type of heart disease that causes the heart muscle to stiffen or enlarge, making it weaker, leading to heart failure. Genetics, underlying medical conditions, or excess stress may cause cardiomyopathy. Anyone can develop cardiomyopathy at any age.
What happens during an evaluation for congestive heart failure?
Your specialist at Florida Heart, Vein and Vascular Institute conducts a patient-centered evaluation for congestive heart failure. They review your symptoms and medical history and perform a physical exam.
Your provider also performs diagnostic tests to evaluate heart health and function, such as:
Blood work
Chest X-ray
Electrocardiogram (EKG)
Echocardiogram
Cardiac MRI
Cardiac CT scan
Stress test
Genetic testing
Cardiac catheterization
The information gathered from the tests helps your provider determine the type of congestive heart failure you have and its severity so they can create an effective treatment plan.
What congestive heart failure treatments can help me feel better?
