Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a prevalent and complex chronic condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to fluid buildup and impaired organ function. Effective HF management requires a holistic approach, combining pharmacological interventions, lifestyle modifications, and continuous monitoring. Nurses play a pivotal role in managing HF through interventions such as patient education, medication adherence support, lifestyle counseling, and symptom monitoring. These interventions have been shown to improve patient outcomes, including better symptom control, reduced hospital readmissions, and enhanced quality of life. However, challenges remain, such as ensuring patient adherence and overcoming barriers to accessing necessary resources. Addressing these issues through personalized strategies, resource expansion, and ongoing professional development for healthcare providers can further enhance care delivery. Continued research and innovation in nursing practices are critical for advancing heart failure management and optimizing patient care.
