Heart failure: Cardiologist warns against overlooking four warning signs. Around four million people in Germany suffer from heart failure.
The disease is one of the most common causes of death and reasons for hospital admission. If detected early and treated in a targeted manner, the progression of heart failure can often be slowed down. If heart failure is undetected, the disease can progress and ultimately become life-threatening if it is not treated in time. In addition to drug therapy, those affected should pay attention to a healthy diet and enough exercise to improve their quality of life.
