Heart failure is not the end of the road.

TAKE ACTION
Have your symptoms changed or worsened?
Act now!
As someone living with HF, it is important to keep a close eye on your symptoms and track any changes or developments in them. These changes can influence the plan your doctor will outline for you. Also, with new scientific advances, the possibility for changes to your treatment regimen may also arise. For this reason, it’s always important to keep on top of your condition and symptoms.1
PATIENT STORIES
There are plenty of others, just like you, who live full lives with HF.
For people living with HF, it is important to stick to a management plan and lifestyle changes as the disease can progress. This can be the tough part – maintaining this regime. Why not hear from other people like you, long into their diagnosis, and see how they have learned to manage their condition?
SUPPORT
It’s a marathon, not a sprint. But you don’t have to run it alone.
The heart failure struggle is real and the road, long. It is not always easy to keep on the positive side. But HF doesn’t have to be a burden.
