Detect the undetected
In line with the guidelines of The Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), this year's Heart Failure Awareness Days fall on 1-7 May 2023. The slogan for this year's Heart Failure Awareness Days is: detect the undetected, referring to the non-specific symptoms of heart failure and exacerbations of the condition.
- Breathlessness, shortness of breath, swelling in the lower limbs or fatigue at even the slightest exertion are still not often associated as one of the possible symptoms of heart failure and its exacerbations. However, early diagnosis of heart failure is key to prognosis. Today, we have innovative therapies that help to effectively inhibit the progression of the condition, but the effectiveness of treatment is greater the earlier the therapy is implemented. Early diagnosis and therapy also means a directly proportional better prognosis. As the Congestive Heart Failure Association of the Polish Cardiac Society, we have prepared a series of awareness-raising activities for this year's Congestive Heart Failure Awareness Day, aimed at the general public, aimed at raising awareness of heart failure, including, in particular, vigilance for its non-specific symptoms," explains prof. Małgorzata Lelonek, MD, FESC, Head of the Non-Invasive Cardiology Unit at the Medical University of Łódź, President of the Heart Failure Association of the Polish Cardiac Society.
