For obesity-induced heart failure, the fundamental principle of treatment is to remove the triggers and slow down the development of the disease. The main clinical treatments include general treatment, drug treatment, surgical treatment and so on.
1. General treatment: patients can follow the doctor’s instructions to exercise properly, control diet, regularly monitor weight changes, and limit sodium intake to avoid causing sodium retention.
2. Drug treatment: patients can take furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide and other diuretic drugs to reduce the burden on the patient’s heart, and captopril, enalapril and other drugs to alleviate the patient’s clinical symptoms as prescribed by the doctor.
3. Surgical treatment: If the disease is serious, cardiac resynchronization therapy, heart transplantation and other surgical treatments can be carried out.
If obesity causes heart failure, you should go to the hospital in time and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment.
