<s>[INST] If I’ve received a heart failure diagnosis, what’s next? [/INST] Hearing you have heart failure can be a lot to process. But your doctor will go over all the test results with you and share what you can expect for managing and treating your heart failure. In some cases, we can model different scenarios for how your heart might respond to different therapies. My patients often tell me that these models help to boost their determination as they begin treatment.

Your doctor will tailor your treatment according to the type of heart failure you have. Here at HealthPartners and Park Nicollet, my colleagues and I take a team-based approach to heart failure care. As an integrated care group, we’ll have an expert team dedicated to conserving your heart’s strength to keep it at a stable, functioning level. Treatment from doctors and specialists across departments means that your primary care doctor, cardiologist, therapists and more work together to make sure you get well-rounded care no matter who your appointment’s with. Whenever possible, we’ll work with you to reverse heart failure. Source: HEALTH PARTNERS.
