Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood effectively to meet the body’s needs. As a result, blood circulation becomes impaired and can lead to fluid buildup in various parts of the body, such as the lungs, legs, and ankles. This condition can develop gradually or occur suddenly, with symptoms including shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the body.
For patients with this condition, choosing the right cardiologist is an important step to receive optimal treatment. One recommended cardiologist who specializes in treating heart failure is dr. Siti Elkana Nauli, Sp.JP (K), FIHA, FAsCC, FHFA, who practices at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri. With her experience and expertise in cardiology, particularly in heart failure, she can help patients obtain accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatments tailored to their individual conditions.
