We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience. To do so, we are actively working with consultants to update the website by increasing its accessibility and usability by persons who use assistive technologies
such as automated tools, keyboard-only navigation, and screen readers.
We are working to have the website conform to the relevant standards of the Section 508 Web Accessibility Standards developed by the United States Access Board, as
well as the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These standards and guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. We believe that conformance with these standards and
guidelines will help make the website more user friendly for all people.
Our efforts are ongoing. While we strive to have the website adhere to these guidelines and standards, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.
If, at any time, you have specific questions or concerns about the accessibility of any particular webpage, please contact WebsiteAccess@tenethealth.com so that we may be of assistance.
It’s scary to think your heart might slow down. But for the 5.7 million Americans over age 65 affected by congestive heart failure each year, that’s exactly what happens. The term “congestive heart failure” simply means the heart isn’t pumping as well as it should. A strong heart pumps blood full of oxygen and nutrients to the cells in the body. If your heart becomes weakened, it falls short of supplying the vital blood to your entire body, leaving you feeling tired and short of breath.
Identifying and treating the condition early can minimize the impact on your life and help you feel more like yourself again.
When to Make an Appointment
If you experience fatigue or shortness of breath when going about your usual daily activities, we recommend you be evaluated for possible heart failure. This is a chronic and progressive condition and oftentimes, there is no cure; but that doesn’t mean you can’t live a full, happy and satisfying life. Our healthcare professionals embrace the care of your heart with a combination of advanced medical, surgical and treatment techniques available. We use the latest technologies and tools at our disposal to create a personalized treatment plan just for you.
