A member asked:
How to diagnose compensated heart failure? and is it hard oto be diagnosed by a cardiologist & by echocardiogram& stress test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart failure is not difficult to diagnose. If a person's symptoms fit a heart failure picture and echocardiogram confirms abnormal cardiac structure/function, then the diagnosis is made. If the person's symptoms are not consistent with heart failure, and their echocardiogram is normal, then heart failure is ruled out.
