Why a strong heart is key to faster healing
When your heart isn’t pumping effectively, every part of your body suffers including your skin and tissues. At Chicago Medical Group Heart Failure and Wounds, we understand how closely heart health and wound healing are connected. That’s why our care plans always consider both.
How the Heart Impacts Wound Healing
Low Blood Flow = Slow Healing
A weakened heart means less oxygen and nutrients reach your wound. This slows down cell repair and tissue growth.
Swelling from Fluid Retention
Heart failure often causes swelling in the legs and feet. This puts pressure on the skin, increasing the risk of ulcers and slowing healing.
Increased Infection Risk
Poor circulation also means immune cells have a harder time reaching the wound, making infections more likely.
Our Approach: Treat the Whole Person
Heart-Aware Wound Care
We don’t just treat the surface, we factor in your cardiovascular condition, medications and fluid levels when creating your care plan.
In-Home Monitoring
Our mobile team watches for signs of both wound complications and heart failure symptoms, adjusting treatment before problems escalate.
Education & Lifestyle Guidance
We help you understand the role of diet, fluid intake, movement and medications in healing faster and staying healthier overall.
Healing Starts with the Heart
Managing chronic heart failure is one of the most important steps in healing chronic wounds. By strengthening your heart health, we can improve blood flow, reduce swelling and help your wounds finally close.
