Heart Failure
A condition where the heart can't pump blood efficiently enough to meet the body's needs, requiring immediate and long-term management.
Symptoms to Watch For
What It Is
Heart failure is a severe medical condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when your heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, resulting in severe symptoms.
How It Progresses
Heart failure progresses in stages. During the initial phase, you may not notice any signs. However, as your condition worsens, you may experience different symptoms that require ongoing management.
Medications
Beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, diuretics, aldosterone antagonists, and digoxin help improve heart function and reduce fluid retention.
Devices
Pacemakers, defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and ventricular assist devices (VADs) may help regulate heartbeat or assist pumping function.
Surgery
In severe cases, options include valve repair or replacement, artery bypass, or heart transplantation using minimally invasive techniques when possible.
