Abstract
Background: Heart failure, a complex cardiac condition, arises when the heart’s ability to pump blood diminishes, leading to insufficient oxygen and nutrients delivery to the body’s organs and tissues. In this paper, we discussed about heart failure disease, its symptoms, etiology and risk factors, epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
Methods: I have to discuss about heart failure disease, its symptoms, etiology and risk factors, epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
Results: Heart failure, often a late-stage consequence of various processes, especially ischemic heart disease, carries a poor prognosis, with mortality rates similar to common cancers. Diagnosis relies on history and physical assessment, while imaging and lab findings assist in confirmation. The New York Heart Association classification may be employed.
Conclusion: Heart failure is a severe condition where the heart can’t pump blood effectively due to causes like coronary artery disease or hypertension. Treatment includes lifestyle changes, meds, and surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for improving quality of life.
