Heart FailureHeart failure is a chronic condition in which your heart gets progressively weaker and is unable to pump effectively to meet the body's need for blood and oxygen. When a patient goes to the hospital with heart failure, there are “best practice” procedures hospitals should follow to give that patient the best possible care.
Quality Insights will work with hospitals to improve the care they deliver to heart failure patients. To learn more about heart failure care and treatment, visit the American Heart Association’s Web site.
