What heart failure looks like
Notes de l’épisode
Here's a polished version with smoother flow, corrected grammar, and a more engaging, listener-friendly tone:
About 80% of Americans living with heart failure are age 65 or older. As we age, the risk of developing heart failure increases, often due to conditions such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, and other cardiovascular risk factors.
On this episode of Aging Forward, Dr. Omar Abou Ezzeddine explains the different types and stages of heart failure, the symptoms to watch for, and how the condition is diagnosed and treated. He also discusses what life after a heart failure diagnosis can look like — and the steps people can take to manage the condition and maintain their quality of life.
