What Seems To Be The Most Recognized Treatment Using Both Meds And Other Devices For The Longest-term Survivability?

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Louisivlle,KY

Age 79 in overall moderate health just recently diagnosed with stage one heart failure. Have been prescribed Entrestro and Jardiance meds. The Jardinace seems to cause gastro issues.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Devices:

- Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs): Control life-threatening arrhythmias and prevent sudden cardiac arrest.
- Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs): Assist the heart in pumping blood, used as a permanent solution or while waiting for a heart transplant.

Lifestyle Changes:
- Healthy diet
- Regular exercise
- Smoking cessation
- Stress management

Combining these treatments can significantly improve long-term outcomes for heart disease patients.

I am on both as well. I take both in the morning before breakfast, and have never had any gastric problems? What are you going thru?
