Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart cannot pump or fill with enough blood to meet the body's needs, leading to symptoms such as breathlessness, leg swelling, and fatigue. Despite the name, it does not mean the heart has stopped — with structured, modern care, many people live active lives for years after diagnosis. Management is tailored to the type of heart failure (reduced, preserved, or mildly reduced ejection fraction) and its severity, and typically involves a combination of evidence-based medications, lifestyle changes, and regular monitoring. When medications are insufficient, device therapies such as an implantable defibrillator or cardiac resynchronisation device may be added, and in advanced cases a left ventricular assist device or heart transplant may be considered. The goal of all approaches is to reduce symptoms, prevent hospital admissions, slow disease progression, and improve quality of life.
A structured programme of evidence-based heart failure medications — typically four drug classes — optimised to target doses with regular clinic monitoring of symptoms, blood tests, and heart function.
Estimated cost: ~$300 – $500
Typical tests: 12-lead ECG, 2D Echocardiogram with ejection fraction measurement, BNP or NT-proBNP, CBC (complete blood count), Kidney function and electrolytes (urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium), Liver function tests, Blood sugar (fasting) and HbA1c, Thyroid function test. Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $1,500 – $4,000
Treatment duration in India: ~2 weeks (~5 hospital visit days across the full span)
Implantation of a defibrillator (ICD) to prevent sudden cardiac death, or a cardiac resynchronisation therapy device (CRT) to coordinate the heart's chambers — used when medications alone are insufficient.
Estimated cost in India: $9,500 – $23,000

A surgically implanted mechanical pump that takes over the work of the weakened left ventricle, used in advanced heart failure as a bridge to transplant or as long-term destination therapy.
Estimated cost in India: $70,000 – $140,000

Replacement of the failing heart with a donor heart, reserved for advanced heart failure that has not responded to medications, devices, or other interventions — requires a deceased donor and involves a lengthy evaluation and waiting period.
Estimated cost in India: $45,000 – $75,000
