Heart failure means that the heart is not pumping enough blood to meet the needs of the body. When this occurs, there is an increase in pressure in the heart and lungs, plus fluid build-up in the lungs. The fluid causes congestion and makes it hard to breathe during activities or even when at rest.
In addition to shortness of breath, other symptoms associated with heart failure include general fatigue, tiredness, and rapid weight gain. Many people with heart failure also have swollen legs and feet.
Treatments for heart failure typically focus on providing relief from these symptoms, improving patients quality of life, and helping to keep patients out of the hospital. Treatments may include medication, lifestyle changes and other interventions including medical devices. Common Heart Failure symptoms include: Shortness of breath During exercise or at rest
