Comprehensive Care for Heart Failure

Heart failure happens when the heart can’t pump blood as effectively as it should—and it can affect anyone. That’s why Broward Health’s heart failure specialists focus on helping you manage your condition through advanced treatment, education, and ongoing support.

If you experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, swelling` or fatigue—whether new or recurring—talk with your primary care provider about a referral to our Heart Failure Program.

Our team will complete a thorough evaluation to understand your symptoms and how they affect your daily life. If you’re diagnosed with heart failure, we’ll create a personalized care plan that may include medication, nutrition and fluid guidance, education with a nurse practitioner, and lifestyle recommendations to help you stay active and maintain your health.
