Question 4: As patients go through their journey, what are some milestones they should work toward, or take as “big wins?”
Heart Failure Society of America @HFSA
- Improvement of their symptoms related to heart failure, evaluation of their left ventricular ejection fraction over time, and ability to routinely take their prescribed medications are all important milestones to be celebrated. #HFChat2023

- Big wins might feel like little wins, but they can have a huge impact on your #qualityoflife #HFWeek2023 #HFChat2023
- Big wins include meeting your #dietgoals, finding the #drugtherapy that is effective for YOU, & being chosen for advanced therapies such as #LVAD, #balloonpump, and/or #hearttransplant. #HFWeek2023 #HFChat2023
- It’s better to think in terms of baby steps – take one small step and celebrate that accomplishment. Sometimes using the word milestone can be intimidating because if you don’t succeed, it can feel like failure.
