Management of left ventricular dysfunction typically involves lifestyle modifications, medication, and in some cases, surgical intervention. Lifestyle changes might include dietary adjustments, increased physical activity, and smoking cessation. Medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics are commonly prescribed to help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. In severe cases, surgical options like coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or implantation of a ventricular assist device (VAD) may be necessary. Nurses play a vital role in educating patients about these treatments and ensuring adherence to prescribed therapies.
