The patient has undergone more than 15 eye surgeries or procedures, has been treated for glaucoma since 2005, and has multiple intolerances to eye drops and polymorphic problems, which she attributes to the application of the drops.

News How Important is the Time Factor in the Treatment of Heart Failure?

Current guidelines emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and immediate treatment for patients with heart failure (HF). These patients are most vulnerable immediately after the decompensation of chronic HF, and intensive treatment can therefore reduce the risk of further hospitalization and mortality. The prognosis for these patients is unfavorable, and any delay in initiating therapy further worsens it. The treatment of chronic HF is often postponed if the symptoms are stable, and the risk of adverse outcomes and sudden death is underestimated. The time factor thus plays a significant role in all stages of HF.
