Congestive Heart Failure Clinic
Congestive Heart Failure Clinic
This program aims to manage and improve heart failure patients’ quality of life.
The Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) clinic offers an initial one-on-one consultation with a Pharmacist and a Nurse Practitioner, and regular follow ups thereafter. The CHF clinic is a multidisciplinary program to manage heart failure patients with a reduced ejection fraction (EF < 40%). The goal of the clinic is to optimize pharmacotherapy, improve exercise tolerance, monitor fluid/electrolyte balance, while providing education on diet and lifestyle. The team includes a nurse practitioner, pharmacist, dietitian and a cardiologist. Additional referrals of smoking cessation, cardiac rehab and ICD assessments are performed as required.
