The incapacity of the heart to adequately pump blood to meet the body's tissues' metabolic needs is known as heart failure. This weakening of the heart causes inadequate blood flow to the cells, resulting in symptoms like exhaustion and dyspnea. New Delhi: Heart failure is a chronic illness that develops when the heart cannot pump blood fast enough to meet the body’s tissues’ metabolic needs.
Weakened heart muscle causes insufficient blood flow to the cells, resulting in exhaustion, dyspnea, and further heart failure symptoms. When heart failure reaches an advanced stage, conventional treatments and symptom control are no longer effective. Advanced heart failure (HF) patients may have severe symptoms that make it difficult for them to go about their regular lives.
Diabetes, valve disease, congenital heart disease, hypertension, heart attacks or coronary artery disease, a family history of the condition, an enlarged or inflamed heart, and hypertension are some common causes of heart failure.
