Meet Your Instructor, Your Heart Failure Coach

Patrick Miley Jr. (Miley): RN-BSN, CCRN, CMC, MBA Hello, I'm Miley, a heart failure nurse and your course instructor for Heart Failure 101:  Understanding and Managing Heart Failure.  After spending years caring for heart patients in cardiac intensive care units, I saw how overwhelming heart failure can feel once patients leave the hospital. I created this course to help patients and caregivers better understand what’s happening in the body and how to manage heart failure day to day. My goal is to make complex medical topics clear, practical, and easier to understand. Join me in this course as we build confidence, reduce overwhelm, and take simple steps toward better managing heart failure at home.
