Heart failure is the inability of the heart to pump blood within the appropriate limits to meet the demands of metabolism. However, heart failure can be prevented with a healthy lifestyle.
On November 6th and 7th, Parc Taulí will host the course “Heart failure: diagnosis and treatment in the acute and stable phase.” These are sessions aimed at medical professionals that aim to standardize and update the diagnosis and management of patients with heart failure (HF).
