To Know About Heart Failure

The heart is a key component of the circulatory system tasked with supplying blood, oxygen and nutrients across the body. When the organ fails to keep up with its function, heart failure occurs. Heart failure is a misleading name, as the heart does not suddenly stop beating but simply fails to pump blood the way it should. Estimates vary, but the condition takes a toll of 1.3 to 4.6 million lives annually in India with a yearly incidence of 491 600 to 1.8 million.

  1. To Know About Heart Failure

  2. Heart Failure The heart is a key component of the circulatory system tasked with supplying blood, oxygen and nutrients across the body. When the organ fails to keep up with its function, heart failure occurs. Heart failure is a misleading name, as the heart does not suddenly stop beating but simply fails to pump blood the way it should. Per thetop cardiologist in India, the condition is preventable with a few lifestyle changes. Estimates vary, but the condition takes a toll of 1.3 to 4.6 million lives annually in India with a yearly incidence of 491 600 to 1.8 million. 

  3. Left Side Left side of the heart is home to the left ventricle that pumps oxygenated blood to all body parts. When the left ventricle is rendered incapable of functioning, the body is denied oxygen, leading to left-sided heart failure. 

  4. Right Side The right ventricle directs the blood into the lungs to gather oxygen. If it fails to live up to the workload, the right-side heart failure is inevitable. Often, it’s a result of left-side heart failure, as the right ventricle has to push harder to make up for the non-functioning left ventricle. It’s second only to left-side heart failure in commonness.

  5. Risk Factors Heart failure, certain factors expose you to this condition, s Race: Individuals of African descent are more vulnerable • Gender: Being a male puts you at a higher risk • Overweight: Obesity is a potent trigger of a heart failure • Conditions: People diagnosed with diabetes, sleep apnoea, anaemia and emphysema are likely candidates. Exposure to certain viruses can also lead to the condition.
