I was a social worker for a number of years in a heart failure & heart transplant clinic. Internet search for best heart failure cardiologist might help if you are in doubt. Not all cardiologists specialize in this.
No question at this time but may have questions in the future. I just joined this group.
Welcome to the AgingCare forum!
I think the problem we have today is that no one can get in to ANY KIND of doctor. and that visits are scheduled for so far out that they don't address patients with cardiac problems.
CHF often causes a need for EMERGENT care. The lack of same can have dire results, and for me what is TRULY MISSING is patient and family educations. It takes little time to explain the basics of CHF care, and what to watch for. No one seems to take that time. Insurance companies dictate 10-20 minute visits. People don't look up conditions on their own to learn about them.
Many lives could be saved with just a little education.
