Follow-up and Treatment of Patients with Heart Failure in Policlinic

Abstract

Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder. Heart failure (HF) is a major and growing public health problem in the whole world, in part because of increasing numbers of patients with HF due to better treatment and salvage of patients with acute myocardial infarction earlier in life. Also heart failure is a major clinical syndrome that can cause increasing cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. The number of HF deaths has increased steadily despite advances in treatment. This article includes follow-up of the policlinic patients with heart failure and treatment of them. Kalp yetersizliği kalbin yapısal ve fonksiyonel bozukluğuna neden olabilen karmaşık klinik bir sendromdur. Kalp yetersizliği tüm dünyada büyük bir halk sağlığı problemi haline gelmiştir. Bunun nedeni daha iyi tedavi alan kalp yetersizliği hastalarının ve daha erken yaşlarda akut miyokard infarktüsünden kurtulan hastaların sayısının artmasıdır. Aynı zamanda kalp yetersizliği tüm dünyada kardiyovasküler mortalite ve morbiditeye neden olan önemli bir klinik tablodur. Tedavideki gelişmelere rağmen kalp yetersizliğine bağlı ölümler sürekli artmaktadır. Bu makale kalp yetersizliği hastasının poliklinik takibi ve tedavisi ile ilgili güncel bilgileri içermektedir.

Poliklinikte Kalp Yetersizliği Hastası Takibi ve Tedavisi

Öz

Kalp yetersizliği kalbin yapısal ve fonksiyonel bozukluğuna neden olabilen karmaşık klinik bir sendromdur. Kalp yetersizliği tüm dünyada büyük bir halk sağlığı problemi haline gelmiştir. Bunun nedeni daha iyi tedavi alan kalp yetersizliği hastalarının ve daha erken yaşlarda akut miyokard infarktüsünden kurtulan hastaların sayısının artmasıdır. Aynı zamanda kalp yetersizliği tüm dünyada kardiyovasküler mortalite ve morbiditeye neden olan önemli bir klinik tablodur. Tedavideki gelişmelere rağmen kalp yetersizliğine bağlı ölümler sürekli artmaktadır. Bu makale kalp yetersizliği hastasının poliklinik takibi ve tedavisi ile ilgili güncel bilgileri içermektedir.
