Description
At UAMS Health, heart failure care goes far beyond medication. Dr. Kalaivani Sivakumar explains how the UAMS heart failure team uses cutting-edge technology, personalized nutrition, and mental health support to improve patients’ lives. The UAMS heart failure program features advanced device monitoring that allows the team to track a patient’s heart health remotely — even detecting problems before symptoms appear. This proactive approach helps reduce hospitalizations and improve quality of life. Recognizing the critical role of overall wellness, the team also integrates unique programs into care. The Gut Health to Heart Health program pairs each patient with a dedicated heart failure dietitian to optimize nutrition. The Talk Your Stress Away program addresses the powerful connection between chronic stress and heart health, offering support from a social worker to help patients build resilience. From sleep and exercise to mindfulness, self-care, and mental health, UAMS Health provides a holistic, patient-centered approach to managing heart failure and improving well-being.
