What You Don’t Know About Heart Failure Matters This Week

In November, I shared with you here my very personal story about my Mom’s journey with heart failure, or “HF,” and how we are taking steps to better manage her condition. I look back on our journey and I am so proud of her – of us – and how much we’ve learned so that we can not only improve her quality of life, but so we can make a difference in the lives of others. One of the biggest game changers for us was learning how to properly recognize and stay on top of the signs and symptoms of my Mom’s HF – and as part of the Rise Above Heart Failure initiative with the American Heart Association, nationally supported by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, I want to share some important information for you to carry with you not just this week, but the whole year, and the rest of your very precious lives.
