The chronic disorder known as heart failure results from the heart's incapacity to efficiently pump blood to meet the body's needs. Other problems include fluid accumulation in the lungs, and limb swelling may follow from this. The disorder is a progressive condition that calls for long-term control to raise quality of living.
Two basic forms of heart failure are systolic, in which the heart muscle weakens and cannot contract properly, and diastolic, in which case the heart gets rigid and cannot effectively fill with blood. Common reasons are cardiomyopathy, excessive blood pressure, diabetes, coronary artery disease, and cardiac valve problems.
Shortness of breath, tiredness, leg swelling, fast heart rate, coughing constantly, and unexpected weight gain brought on by fluid retention define the symptoms of heart failure. Severe cases may cause organ damage and perhaps fatal consequences.
Imaging studies include echocardiograms, chest X-rays, and blood tests to evaluate heart function, which constitute part of the diagnosis. Along with lifestyle changes like a low-sodium diet and frequent exercise, treatment centres around drugs, including beta-blockers, diuretics, and ACE inhibitors. In severe stages, the disorder may require pacemakers or cardiac transplants for proper control.
