Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. This can happen when the heart becomes damaged or weakened due to conditions such as coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, or other heart conditions. Heart failure can affect people of all ages but is more common in older adults.
The symptoms of heart failure can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Some common symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet, rapid or irregular heartbeat, coughing, wheezing, and a decreased ability to exercise. In some cases, people with heart failure may also experience chest pain or pressure.
Treatment for heart failure typically involves a combination of medications, lifestyle changes, and sometimes surgery. Medications such as diuretics, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and aldosterone antagonists can help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. Lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, following a low-sodium diet, getting regular exercise, and quitting smoking can also help manage symptoms and improve overall health. In some cases, surgery such as heart valve replacement, implantation of a pacemaker or defibrillator, or heart transplant may be recommended.
It is important for people with heart failure to work closely with their healthcare providers to manage their condition effectively. Regular monitoring of symptoms and adjustments to medications or other treatments may be needed to maintain heart function and prevent complications. With proper management and lifestyle changes, many people with heart failure are able to maintain a good quality of life and continue to engage in daily activities.
