Until On the Pulse | Heart and Hope: Thriving with Heart Failure Begins

Event Details:

Join us for our series of free, virtual presentations from physician leaders in research and care at the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation® (MHIF) and the Allina Health Minneapolis Heart Institute® (AHMHI) who will address the latest in cardiovascular treatment and advancements.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is estimated that nearly 6.7 million Americans aged 20 years or older have heart failure. Heart failure is a condition that occurs when the heart is incapable of pumping enough blood and oxygen to the body’s organs. Symptoms include shortness of breath during daily activities, difficulty breathing when lying down, weight gain with swelling in the legs, ankles, feet, or stomach, and generally feeling weak or tired. This diagnosis can seem daunting; however, heart failure does not have to define you. With the right care and mindset, you can still live a fulfilling and joyful life!
