Chronic Heart Failure

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a medical condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It is a progressive disease, which means that its symptoms worsen over time. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, tiredness, and swelling in the legs and ankles. CHF has a high mortality rate, making it one of the leading causes of death and disability around the world. Treatment and management of the disease focus on lifestyle changes, medication and other therapies such as pacemakers, defibrillators and heart transplants. Early diagnosis and appropriate management of CHF can help improve quality of life and reduce mortality rates.
