Can heart failure be cured?

Heart failure is a relatively serious disease. At present, heart failure is no longer a disease that only the elderly can get. Many young people also have symptoms of heart failure. Severe heart failure can sometimes easily cause patients to die suddenly. So can heart failure be cured? Acute heart failure can only be cured by treatment in a regular hospital. It is more important for patients with heart failure to take good care of themselves in daily life, which is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

First, dietary health care for patients with heart failure.

This is a very important aspect of adjuvant therapy for patients with heart failure. For patients with heart failure, their daily diet should contain high-quality protein with essential amino acids, less salt and more vegetables. If the patient does not have heart failure, they can eat a low-salt diet. Generally speaking, the daily sodium intake of patients with heart failure should not exceed two grams. If a patient with heart failure has already developed symptoms of heart failure, especially when the patient has symptoms of edema, salt intake must be controlled. Do not add salt to the diet of such patients with heart failure. At the same time, warn patients with heart failure to quit smoking and drinking, and eat small meals frequently to avoid increasing the burden on their hearts.

Second, patients with heart failure must not overwork themselves.

Limit the activities of patients with heart failure to those within their capabilities. The entertainment of patients with heart failure should also be based on their own physical condition. When the condition of a patient with heart failure is relatively stable, it is appropriate to let the patient take a walk in the garden to get some fresh air. If a patient with heart failure is unable to climb mountains or stairs, do not force him or her to do so. In other words, patients with heart failure and heart dysfunction should not have too much physical load or consumption.

Third, take medication and check-ups regularly.

The patient's family must urge the heart failure patient to go to the hospital for regular check-ups and take medication regularly. Heart failure patients should not stop taking medication or reduce the dosage of medication without their doctor's permission. If the condition of a patient with heart failure worsens, the patient cannot increase the dosage of the drug at will, as these are very dangerous actions.
