Heart failure does not mean your heart has stopped working. Learn what it actually is, how to spot the signs early, and modern medical treatments.
Heart failure is a chronic, progressive condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs for blood and oxygen. Essentially, the heart can't keep up with its workload.
Symptoms of Heart Failure - Shortness of breath during activities or even while lying flat. - Persistent coughing or wheezing. - Swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet (edema) due to fluid retention. - Fatigue and weakness. - Rapid or irregular heartbeat.
Treatment and Consultation Early diagnosis and medical consultation with a certified cardiologist are key. Modern therapies, including lifestyle adjustments, medications (beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors), and sometimes surgical procedures, help patients live full and active lives.
