Clinical Course of Care
Clinical course of care means how the disease changes its behavior from time to time; it may improve or deteriorate, depending on the care that is being provided. Clinical guidelines should be followed, but the team has to practice the best individualized care in order to treat the patient well. Clinical guidelines based on heart failure are the primary focus of several medical platforms. Mortality, morbidity and expenditures are associated to a widespread condition known as Heart Failure.

High blood pressure check; is the first step when assessing the patient with heart failure. It is likely to prevail in the majority and subsequent and urgent treatment should be done, or the patient would suffer more on account of organ damage. Enzyme inhibitors, aldosterone antagonists, beta blockers, and angiotensin were given to Lydia as long term treatment which would reduce breathlessness. Strong follow ups are required after discharging Lydia. Morphine can also be used with great care as prolonged use might result in …show more content…
The approach to the patients well being can be ensured when accurate diagnosis is followed by best therapy and treatment. References
