Overview

Heart failure happens when the heart's ability to pump blood is restricted by weakening or too stiff cardiac muscles. It may impact one or both of the heart's sides, resulting in an accumulation of fluid in the abdomen, lungs, or limbs. Improving quality of life and preventing potentially fatal circumstances require effective management of heart failure.
