Heart failure: Causes, symptoms, and treatment
Heart failure is a chronic medical condition where the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently to meet the body's needs. Despite its name, heart failure does not mean the heart has stopped working entirely; rather, it indicates that the heart's pumping power is weaker than normal or unable to cope with the body's demands. It is a serious condition that requires lifelong management, but with proper treatment and lifestyle changes, many people with heart failure can live active lives.
