This means plenty of education for both patient and family members. The treatment plan consists of many parts , one of which is reducing demand on the heart so it doesn't have to work too hard. Another part of the treatment plan is dietary concerns . Eating less salt is an important part of dealing with congestive heart failure. The home health team helps patients and family members understand how to make a low-salt diet work.
Medication is another part of the treatment plan .
The doctor will prescribe different medications to help deal with problems caused by congestive heart failure. Many people with congestive heart failure also have high blood pressure. Controlling high blood pressure is essential to helping the heart work better. Understanding the medications and how to use them properly is important to the patient as well as the family members. The professional staff at Sta-home will help in this critical area with educational material as well as being available for any questions the patient may have.
