How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical exam to check for signs of heart failure
- Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) to measure the electrical activity of the heart
- Echocardiogram (echo) to measure the size and pumping action of the heart
- Chest X-ray to check for any abnormalities
- Blood tests to check for signs of infection or inflammation
- Cardiac catheterization to measure the pressure in the heart
- MRI or CT scan to check for any structural abnormalities
- Cardiac biopsy to check for any signs of inflammation or damage to the heart muscle

- Lifestyle modifications, such as quitting smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, and exercising regularly.
- Medications to reduce symptoms, such as diuretics to reduce fluid buildup, ACE inhibitors to reduce blood pressure, and beta blockers to reduce heart rate.
- Surgery, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), to help regulate heart rhythm.
- Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) to help the heart beat more effectively.
- Heart transplantation in severe cases.
