Recovery and Treatment of Heart Failure Patients

Heart failure patients should adopt a comprehensive treatment program, including general treatment such as improving lifestyle, oxygen inhalation, drug therapy including cardiotonic diuretic vasodilator such as digitalis, furosemide, other treatments including mechanical ventilation and etiological treatment. 1. General treatment: including lifestyle improvement, weight control, dietary management, such as controlling water and sodium intake, semi-recumbent position, regular work and rest, etc., and appropriate aerobic exercise during the recovery period. 2. Drug therapy: actively control the volume and improve the hemodynamic status during the acute attack of heart failure, including positive inotropic drugs such as digitalis, dopamine, polyphenol butyramine, diuretics such as furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, and vasodilators such as nitroglycerin, sodium nitroprusside, and so on. Chronic heart failure patients or recovery period can take β-blockers such as metoprolol, bisoprolol, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, such as perindopril, enalapril, angiotensin II receptor blockers, such as valsartan, alisatan esters, ARNI, such as sakubutra valsartan sodium tablets, solid ketone receptor antagonists, such as spironolactone, SGLT-2, such as dagliflozin, sGC stimulants, such as viliciclosporin. The above drugs can improve patients’ heart failure symptoms and myocardial remodeling, improve long-term survival and slow down the progression of heart failure. However, different drugs have certain side effects and prohibited people. It is necessary to choose drugs under the guidance of physicians. 3. Other treatments: Acute heart failure patients can be mechanically ventilated, including non-invasive mechanical ventilation, tracheal intubation. Renal replacement therapy, ultrafiltration, etc., but also according to the conditions of the causes and triggers of treatment. Heart transplantation can be considered in the end stage of the disease. Patients with heart failure should actively treat the underlying disease, take medication regularly as prescribed by the doctor, and consult a doctor when they feel unwell.
