A diagnosis of heart failure can only come through a healthcare provider. They may use any of or more than one of the following tests: blood tests, chest exrays, an ekg (electrocardiogram), echocardiogram, stress test, etc. Your healthcare provider will be looking for your EF or ejection fraction. The EF indicates how much blood your heart pumps out every time it beats. If your healthcare provider diagnoses you with heart failure, there are various treatments they may recommend. You need to know that your healthcare provider can treat heart failure and slow the development at any stage to make you feel more comfortable. Our next post will discuss some of the treatments that may be available to one who receives a diagnosis of heart failure.
