It has been demonstrated that care delivered by specialised nurses improves outcomes for patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), considerably lowering the rate of unplanned readmissions, duration of hospital stay, medical expenses, and death. The majority of people who have coronary artery disease also have CHF. When cardiac damage has already taken place, the chance of developing heart failure can be minimised by using the proper medications at the right amounts. Cardiovascular rehabilitation centres offer a chance to monitor drug use, but their main goal is to improve patients' physical health after a heart attack. Evidence also shows that general practitioners typically hesitate to start appropriate therapies and increase medication doses, even for patients with heart failure that has been identified.
