Summary

The purpose of this study is to verify the impact of the educational intervention in the adhesion to therapeutic strategies for patients with heart failure.

Detailed description

1. Characterize the socio-demographic and clinical aspects of heart failure patients; 2. Awareness before and after nursing consultation, in relation to diet for heart failure, liquid and weight, general heart failure information, medication, physical activity, measures to improve disease control, signs of decompensated heart failure; 3. Adhesion of patients before and after nursing consultation, related to medication, liquid and weight, use of alcohol and importance of returning for consultation and exams. 4. Evaluated the impact of educational intervention at the levels of NT-proBNP, urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium, before and after nursing consultation; 5. The 6 minute walk test performance before and after nursing consultation; 6. The distance covered and time of the 6 minute walk test, until fatigue in heart failure patients before and after nursing consultation;
