Heart failure clinic

Heart failure doesn’t mean your heart has stopped working – it just needs some support to help it work better. It can occur at any age, but is most common in older people.

Heart failure is a long-term condition that tends to get gradually worse over time. It can’t usually be cured, but the symptoms can often be controlled for many years (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Heart-failure/Pages/Introduction.aspx)
