Helping patients live with advanced heart failure<\/h3>\n

\"USWhen the heart muscle is weakened, it can\u2019t pump the right amount of blood through the body. This can lead to a variety of issues and symptoms, including shortness of breath, unexplained weight gain, fatigue and weakness. This condition is known as heart failure.<\/p>\n

Typically, patients with heart failure can lead full lives by making some lifestyle changes and taking certain medications. However, in some cases, the heart weakens more, and those traditional approaches no longer work. That\u2019s when advanced heart failure has set in.<\/p>\n

The Advanced Heart Failure program at our Anschutz location provides high-quality care for patients in all stages of heart failure. Our board-certified physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, dietitians and more collaborate to optimize quality of life for each patient by creating individual treatment plans and offering a full range of therapeutic options for patients with severe heart disease.<\/p>\n
