Heart failure Information
Our goal is to help you to manage your condition well and to minimise the impact of the condition on your long-term health
If you have heart failure, it's important to look after your own health and wellbeing, with support from those involved in your care
This includes having a healthy diet, exercising regularly, stopping smoking and drinking less alcohol and, where needed, taking medication consistently.
Above all, being as informed as possible, often sharing experiences with others and building healthy daily routines makes the biggest difference.
