At PIH Health, our Heart Failure Management program offers comprehensive, personalized care for patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Our team of specialists uses the latest advancements in heart failure treatments to improve heart function, reduce symptoms, and enhance your quality of life. We work closely with each patient to develop a tailored care plan designed to manage heart failure effectively and prevent complications.

For patients with more complex or advanced cases, our Advanced Heart Failure Clinic provides specialized evaluation, treatment, and ongoing management. This dedicated clinic offers access to leading-edge therapies, advanced diagnostic tools, and coordinated multidisciplinary care to address the unique needs of patients with severe heart failure.

Understanding Heart Failure

Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs, often leading to symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid retention. This condition can result from various heart problems, including coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, or a history of heart attacks.

Innovative Treatments and Technology

Our Heart Failure Management program incorporates advanced therapies to improve heart function and help manage symptoms, including lifestyle changes, medications, and cutting-edge devices.

Barostim Therapy

Barostim is an FDA-approved device that stimulates the body’s natural mechanisms to regulate blood pressure and heart function by activating baroreceptors in the carotid artery. This device helps alleviate the symptoms of heart failure, such as breathlessness and fatigue, and reduces the strain on the heart, helping patients live more comfortably.

CardioMEMS

We also offer CardioMEMS, a remote monitoring system that measures pulmonary artery pressure in patients with heart failure. This small, implanted sensor allows your doctor to detect early signs of worsening heart failure, enabling proactive adjustments to your treatment plan before symptoms become severe. By preventing hospitalizations and managing heart failure more effectively, CardioMEMS enhances quality of life and supports long-term heart health.

At PIH Health, we are committed to providing advanced, compassionate care for patients with heart failure. Whether through our comprehensive Heart Failure Management program or the specialized services of our Advanced Heart Failure Clinic, our goal is to help you live your best possible life.
