About Right-Sided Heart Failure
Right-sided heart failure occurs when the right side of the heart is unable to effectively pump blood to the lungs for oxygenation. This condition can lead to a backup of blood in the veins and fluid accumulation in various parts of the body. Common causes of right-sided heart failure include left-sided heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, heart valve diseases, and lung diseases.
At Norton Community Medical Associates, we understand the challenges faced by individuals dealing with right-sided heart failure. Our team of cardiologists and specialists work closely to develop personalized treatment plans that address the underlying causes and effectively manage the condition.
Diagnostic Services
We offer a comprehensive range of diagnostic services to accurately identify and assess right-sided heart failure. Our state-of-the-art facilities and advanced medical technologies enable us to provide accurate and timely diagnosis. Our diagnostic services include:
- Echocardiography: This non-invasive imaging technique uses ultrasound waves to assess the structure and function of the heart.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG): This test measures the electrical activity of the heart and can help detect abnormal heart rhythms.
- Cardiac stress test: This test evaluates how your heart performs during physical activity, helping diagnose underlying heart conditions.
- Cardiac catheterization: This invasive procedure involves inserting a thin tube into the blood vessels to assess blood flow and diagnose heart conditions.
Treatment Options
Once a thorough diagnosis has been made, we develop individualized treatment plans to effectively manage right-sided heart failure. Our treatment options include:
- Medications: We prescribe medications aimed at improving heart function, reducing fluid buildup, and managing symptoms.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Our team emphasizes the importance of making positive lifestyle changes, including adopting a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and smoking cessation.
- Device Therapy: In some cases, we may recommend implantable devices to help regulate heart rhythm or improve heart function.
- Surgical Interventions: For severe cases, surgical interventions such as heart valve repair or transplantation may be considered.
Continuum of Care
At Norton Community Medical Associates, we prioritize continuity of care. After the initial diagnosis and implementation of treatment, we provide ongoing monitoring and adjustment of treatment plans as needed. Our goal is to ensure that you receive the necessary support and guidance throughout your journey in managing right-sided heart failure.
