“Patient education and advocacy are paramount. I am a firm believer that patients need to understand their illness in order to become active participants in their treatment.
“This is particularly important in heart failure, which becomes much more manageable when patients are attuned to the signs and symptoms. When empowered with this knowledge, they can feel confident in our shared medical decision-making process.”
