Core Tip

Core tip: Chronic heart failure is usually the end stage of most cardiovascular diseases, with high prevalence, high mortality, and high readmission rates. Individualized health education can effectively improve the self-care behavior of patients with chronic heart failure, improve the heart function of patients, and effectively provide scientific, professional, and individualized health guidance for patients. Good self-care awareness provides important guidance for the development of self-care programs for patients with chronic heart failure.
