Heart Failure & Transplant Cardiology

Heart failure means the heart cannot pump enough blood for the body's needs. It is a long-term condition that can be managed well with the right medicines, salt and fluid advice, regular monitoring and, in some cases, devices.

A heart failure specialist optimises medicines, treats the cause, arranges device therapy and assesses selected patients for mechanical heart pumps or heart transplantation. Regular follow-up reduces hospital admissions and improves quality of life.
