This concludes #HFChat2022 – our live Twitter Chat discussion on #heartfailure! A very special thank you to all of our participants for their fantastic insights! A full transcript will be available on our website later this week! #HFWeek2022 #FunctionNotFailure
@HFSA As a patient organization we are excited to learn what’s on the horizon. It’s exciting that so much research is focusing on HF and bringing the patient voice to the table. #HFChat2022
@HFSA Q7/A2: The list continues... Advancements in #DCD #hearttransplantation, use of #highriskhearts, use of modified pig hearts, stem cell therapy, and so so much more. #HFChat2022 #heartfailureawareness #lifeaftertransplant #hearttransplantsurvivors
@HFSA Q7/A1: More drugs coming from co's like @Novartis, @Cytokinetics & @pfizer. New devices like the #impella. Smarter defibrillators from @AbbottCardio. More hearts avail from @Transmedics #OCS. Better post-transplant surveillance for longer life from co's like @CareDx. #HFChat2022
@HFSA Q6/A2: Being there for the patient 24/7. Making themselves available by sharing off-hrs personal contact info. Listening/answering questions fully. Following up with a call after a visit. Being aware and up-to-date on the patient's condition before the appointment. #HFChat2022
@HFSA Q6/A2: It's also important to include the patient in the process of making decisions about their care, whenever possible. Making decisions jointly, as a team, typically leads to better outcomes. #HFChat2022
@HFSA Q6/A1: Absolute honesty is key—patients must trust that they are getting the whole truth. Clinicians should also integrate the patient's goals, viewpoints, concerns, & needs when sharing news that a patient might not hope for. #HFChat2022
@HFSA Q5/A1: Caregiver insights on current well-being, quality of life, and symptoms are very valuable. Caregivers are important notetakers, too: write notes and keep records ahead of time to make sure appointments are productive. #HFChat2022 #HFWeek2022
@HFSA Q5/A2: Caregivers can help tremendously by arranging for transportation, collecting personal items for hospital stays, gathering data about medications/diet/lifestyle/vitals, & managing the patient's affairs while they're in the hospital. #HFChat2022 #livingwithheartfailure
@HFSA Q5/A1: Make sure you as the patient and your caregiver/loved one (if they're in attendance) both stay calm & present the full list of questions to the clinician(s). Don't leave until all questions are answered. #heartfailureawareness #americanheartmonth #HFWeek2022 #HFChat2022
@HFSA Q4/A2: If you don’t understand a diagnosis, treatment, or med, it’s ok to ask your HCP to explain it differently so you do #HFChat2022
Q5/A1: A person in a support role can help by collecting info, such as the patient’s current medications and daily weight, on behalf of their loved one if they are not feeling well during their appt. or hospital stay. They can then share that info with the healthcare provider.
Q5/A3: This support allows a patient to read through the notes at their own pace and follow-up with clarifying questions if needed. It also helps the caregiver act as an advocate for the patient at a vulnerable time when they are feeling unwell. #HFChat2022
Q5/A2: A caregiver can also record important details on the patient’s treatment plan as it is shared by the provider during the visit or hospital stay. This can include maximum allowable fluid or sodium intake per day, current ejection fraction and blood pressure. #HFChat2022
@HFSA Q4/A1: Two very important things #heartfailurepatients AND caregivers/loved ones should know are 1. Who to call if the patient's condition worsens and 2. A verified list of doctors' instructions, medications, and dosages. #heartfailurecare #heartfailuremanagement #HFChat2022
