Heart failure outpatient clinic

There is currently sufficient scientific evidence to prove that patients suffering from heart failure benefit from a multidisciplinary and intensive approach. Patients are more faithful to their care regimes and thus require fewer hospitalisations. They feel better and probably have a better life expectancy too. Patients are informed about their disease and are stimulated to take their medication correctly, adhere to lifestyle changes and learn to live with their disease.  

At Bronovo Hospital, patients suffering from heart failure are guided by a heart failure nurse (a nurse specially trained for performing this important task) under the supervision of the treating cardiologist. Patients may also consult a dietician and receive a training schedule for heart rehabilitation. The heart failure nurse has a separate consultation time. Appointments are made via the cardiologists.
