Heart failure is a condition in which the heart loses the ability to pump blood with enough oxygen to the whole body and does not cover all its needs. According to the World Health Organization, there are about 26 million people with heart failure. In Ecuador, the prevalence of this disease affects between 1% and 2% of adults and in people between 75 and 80 years of age it represents 10%. The general objective of this study was to determine the nutritional care process in a 68-year-old female patient with heart failure and diabetes. The line of research was human health, nutrition and healthy eating. The clinical case is a 68-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of heart failure who is in the ICU area, on her fifth day in better conditions. NPO for 5 days. Enteral nutrition 2 days ago.
