Heart Failure Treatment in Bangalore
Heart failure—also known as congestive heart
failure (CHF)—is a chronic condition in which the heart is
unable to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs. It can
affect the left, right, or both sides of the heart and leads
to symptoms like fatigue, breathlessness, and fluid buildup in
the lungs and extremities.
"Heart failure doesn’t mean the heart has stopped— it means
the heart needs support. Early diagnosis and ongoing
management can significantly improve quality of life and
survival."
At our cardiac clinic in Bangalore,
Dr. Basavaraj Utagi offers comprehensive and
personalized care for patients with heart failure. Using
evidence-based treatment protocols, state-of-the-art
diagnostics, and compassionate monitoring, we help patients
manage symptoms, prevent hospitalizations, and enhance heart
function.
