Sažetak
Heart failure is a major and growing health problem that imposes a significant human and economic burden on individuals, families, and society through the associated high mortality, morbidity, and hospital readmission rates. It also impairs the quality of life and well-being of patients, families, and carers. The management of patients with heart failure depends on a detailed, systematic clinical assessment of their clinical presentation. Although treatments, especially pharmacological ones, but also devices, are increasingly effective, patients with heart failure and their families need education and support to help them understand and cope with treatments and any complications, make adjustments to their lifestyle, adhere to treatments, and take responsibility for their self-care.
