Dr. Momin Khan, an internal medicine resident with White River Health, recently discussed heart failure during an episode of the Health Matters podcast. Speaking with host Joel Williams, Dr. Khan outlined the condition’s common causes, warning signs, and strategies for management.
According to Dr. Khan, conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and sleep apnea are among the primary causes of heart failure. Early symptoms often include shortness of breath and swelling in the legs, which can signal fluid retention. While serious, the condition is highly manageable through a combination of medications, regular medical monitoring, and dietary adjustments, such as limiting sodium intake to less than two grams per day.
The podcast episode, produced by White River Health and White River Now, offers listeners expert advice on recognizing and addressing heart failure. To learn more, the full episode is available online.
