Heart Failure in Aging Symptoms, Types and Treatments (Video)
Heart failure is a common condition affecting older adults, but what do you really need to know to manage it effectively?
In this 19 December 2024 video, host geriatrician Leslie Kernisan, MD, talks with cardiologist Cara Pellegrini, MD, to discuss the key aspects of heart failure, including its types (congestive, systolic, diastolic, HFrEF, and HFpEF), causes, symptoms and treatment options.
Learn how heart failure progresses, the role of heart valves and arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, and the risk factors that contribute to this condition in aging. The discussion provides practical insights into managing heart failure, with a focus on lifestyle changes, medication and when specialized procedures or devices might be needed. The doctors also cover heart failure prognosis.
Special attention is given to managing heart failure in frail older adults and understanding how addressing underlying causes can sometimes reverse this condition. If you or someone you care for is dealing with heart failure, this conversation offers a roadmap for better heart health and quality of life.
