In the department, we estimate that more than one in two heart failure patients are unaware that they have this disease.
To improve its detection and the care of our patients, the department’s CPTS worked to set up a care pathway with the participation of stakeholders: university hospitals, cardiologists and private doctors, advanced practice nurses, nurses liberals, pharmacists.
Without forgetting the patients for whom we have developed a booklet on heart failure which notably relays the messages of the Health Insurance information campaign.
More broadly, at the regional level, in Occitanie, I observe that the public health support offered by Health Insurance is producing effects: doctors are engaged in the heart failure pathway, in particular with the support of cardiologists who offer them training (use of new recommended therapies, adjustment of treatments according to the patient’s state of health, etc.).
At the national level, many CPTS presidents tell me that the actors in their territory are also taking up this public health issue.
Finally, Health Insurance’s general public awareness campaign strengthens the dialogue between doctors and their patients: dialogue around signs and symptoms deemed to be trivial is facilitated and they are more receptive to the advice we give them to better manage their health. disease.
