What Is a Heart Failure?

A diagnosis of heart failure sounds scary as if your heart could stop at any moment. But the underlying heart conditions that commonly cause heart failures, such as coronary artery disease or high blood pressure, typically develop slowly over many years. The development of heart failure usually means that your heart’s ability to pump blood has weakened, so it can’t circulate enough blood to meet your body’s needs. Shortness of breath, fatigue and leg swelling may result. When fluid builds up, heart failure is called congestive. Sometimes the heart becomes too stiff to fill properly, and that also can lead to heart failure.

Approximately 5 million US citizens are suffering from heart failure, with 400K to 700K new diagnoses occurring annually. Heart failure is a concerning issue and can be potentially fatal if not properly managed. Every year, approximately 250,000 people succumb to heart failure.

Although sometimes there’s no way to reverse damage to your heart, treatments can significantly improve signs and symptoms. You can also make lifestyle changes, such as exercising, reducing salt intake, and losing weight, to help your weakened heart work as efficiently as possible.

Your best defense against heart failure is to prevent or control risk factors that lead to coronary artery diseases, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, diabetes, smoking, alcohol abuse, inactivity, and obesity.
