Other Ways to Help with the Treatment Plan

Taking all medicines as directed and checking for weight gain are important parts of a heart failure treatment plan.

Family and friends can help with these tasks by:

• Filling a pillbox for the patient with the medicines that he or she is to take each day of the week.
  

• Helping the person with heart failure weigh him or herself each day and tracking the results on a weight chart.
