Abstract

One of the most common chronic cardiovascular conditions that contributes to hospitalization, morbidity, and death among all heart patients is heart failure. The chance of developing heart failure is about 20% higher during one’s lifespan. Symptomatic forecasts typically lack specificity and are seldom able to distinguish heart failure from other illnesses. Due to its financial and medical strain on the healthcare system, this disease poses a dilemma. However, the treatment and presentation of a patient with heart failure are still up for debate. This study will focus on how crucial it is for primary care doctors to diagnose and treat patients with congestive heart failure. Eligible published English-language papers, articles, and clinical trials were collected and categorized for this evaluation. Among them was PubMed, an electronic research engine. Details on the diagnosis and treatment of congestive heart failure, including definitions and classifications, were covered in this study. The primary care physician’s approach often focuses on traditional palliative medicines before the disease worsens, and aims to assess various reports about patients with heart failure during their follow-up appointments.
