Congestive Heart Failure: a patient's guide

If you have congestive heart failure, critical lifestyle and behavior changes can help you control your disease and avoid hospitalizations. To help you make these critical changes, Acumentra Health created a patient education booklet: Congestive Heart Failure: a patient's guide (Adobe PDF file, 2MB).

This 58-page booklet is free and may be downloaded from this website.

Daily Weight Diary

If you have congestive heart failure, it is important to weigh yourself every morning and record your weight in a daily weight diary. Bring the diary with you when you visit your physician.

The Daily Weight Diary is available in our free patient education booklet: Congestive Heart Failure: a patient's guide.

You may also download a blank copy of the Daily Weight Diary (PDF).

Medication Schedule

Living with congestive heart failure may involve one or more medications. This handy chart can help you keep track of your medications, as well as your doctor's instructions about your medications. Bring a copy of your medication schedule with you when you visit your doctor.

The Medication Schedule is also available in our free patient education booklet: Congestive Heart Failure: a patient's guide. You may also download a blank copy of the Medication Schedule ( PDF).
