It is important to understand that heart failure cannot be cured. However, your heart care team can help you manage your heart failure with an individualized treatment plan that may include lifestyle modifications, medications and surgery.

Your Advanced Heart Care Program team can help you manage your heart failure, but maintaining your health and taking an active role in your treatment is up to you. Become a good self-care manager by weighing yourself each day, eating a low-salt diet, exercising as prescribed, taking your medications, keeping your doctor's appointments and letting your health care team know when something is not "quite right."

Types of treatment:

• Lifestyle Modifications
• Medications
• Mechanical-Assist Devices
• Heart Transplant
