Care of patients with heart failure continues to evolve with newer therapeutic options including newer drugs and devices. The Stead Heart and Vascular Center has a comprehensive heart failure program overseen by an extensively trained heart failure case manager, and nationally recognized by the American Heart Association’s Get with the Guidelines Program. The case manager is supported by nurses and nurse practitioners for a team approach in the care of these patients. Presently, we offer M.D. follow-up, nurse practitioner follow-up, and heart failure education to help the patient understand their disease process. The patient education module includes diet, exercise, and medication compliance. Patients have direct access to HF nurses and nurse practitioners to discuss their problems and concerns. Our heart failure program helps alleviate unnecessary emergency room visits and subsequent hospitalizations. Please call (909) 865-9803 for more information.
