  1. What is heart failure? What are the symptoms and treatment?

  2. The heart is essentially a pump made of muscles, and the muscles help pump the blood in and out of the heart. The symptoms that occur due to the disruption in this pumping motion are known as heart failure symptoms.

  3. Symptoms of heart failure ✅ Progressive breathing difficulty ✅ Orthopnoea ✅ Swelling in the legs starting from the ankles to the thighs and scrotum area ✅ Fatigue ✅ Loss of weight in advanced stages ✅ Loss of appetite

  4. What is Heart Failure? Heart failure is a progressive disease. As the disruption in the heart function continues and compensatory mechanisms also fail, the symptoms get more severe.

  5. Causes of Heart Failure The main reason for heart failure involves coronary artery disease. In this case, the arteries which supply blood to the cardiac muscles are blocked. Treatment for Heart Failure Heart attack due to coronary artery disease can be treated using revascularization. Revascularization involves clearing out the blockages in the arteries. Revascularization can be done using angioplasty, or surgery might be needed in severe cases.

  6. ✅ If there is an obstruction in the heart valves or disruption of the valve function, valve replacement is often recommended as the treatment option. ✅ There are also effective medications that are used to treat heart failure. When it is taken in the right dose with the guidance of the cardiology doctors, it can help tremendously in treating the disease. These medications can retard the progress of the symptoms of heart failure and the disease itself, and they will also prevent frequent hospitalization and death due to heart failure.
