Philips Lifeline is for living with heart-related ailments

Lifeline provides extra protection from ailments unrelated to falls, particularly for those coping with heart disease. There are many situations in which someone may need immediate assistance but is unable to call for help themselves: a serious heart arrhythmia, chest pain, difficulty breathing, general fatigue, muscle weakness or other serious forms of distress.

Frequent hospital admissions is another common problem for patients with heart failure. That's because managing heart failure at home is a complex task requiring individuals to remember to take medications, to weigh themselves on a regular basis (an indication of fluid retention) and to follow a low sodium diet and exercise plan.

Lifeline with Reminders helps those with heart disease to take better care of themselves and prevent unnecessary emergency room visits and hospital re-admissions.
