Cardiopulmonary care
The heart and lungs are closely related, and an issue in one can affect the other. Also called cardiopulmonary diseases, we manage these disorders through treatments, such as medication, lung therapy, surgery and rehabilitative services.
Heart failure clinic in Hudson, Florida
For many, the diagnosis of heart failure can be scary and cause symptoms that interfere with a person’s ability to participate in life’s daily activities.
Our Heart Failure Clinic offers supportive outpatient care to assist in managing a person’s symptoms from heart failure before emergency room care is required. Our heart failure specialists offer rapid hospital follow-up, treatment with evidence-based medicine and emergent IV diuretic therapy. We provide comprehensive education to help our patients learn to care for themselves better so they can live more productive lives.

Continuum of care for cardiac and pulmonary diseases
The Heart Failure Clinic is staffed by a board-certified registered nurse practitioner, who acts as an extension of your local healthcare provider. Our nurse practitioners are overseen by physicians trained in pulmonology, internal medicine and cardiac care.
The goal of these cardiopulmonary care practitioners is to aid you in the transition from an inpatient hospital stay to outpatient follow-up care. This allows us to reevaluate and monitor your condition following discharge to determine if additional treatment, education or services are required.
We are also available to help you if you have not had an inpatient hospital stay but require assistance in managing your symptoms. You are welcome to talk with your primary care provider, cardiologist or pulmonologist if you need a referral to our clinic.
