What you'll learn in this expert session
Non-pharmacological treatments remain fundamental to the optimal management of heart failure. While drug therapy for this condition has advanced significantly in recent years, patients still require education on non-drug treatments for heart failure. In this presentation, Prof Andrew Sindone, a Cardiologist, explains that diet, fluid restriction, and exercise are among the key areas to address in managing heart failure patients in line with best practice guidelines. The importance of these and other non-pharmacological measures should not be underestimated.
