Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a serious condition in which the heart’s ability to pump blood efficiently is compromised, leading to a backlog of blood and fluid accumulation in various parts of the body. As the heart weakens, this fluid can build up in the ankles, feet, arms, lungs, and other organs. CHF affects nearly 6 million Americans, but with appropriate treatment, many patients can achieve significant improvement in their health.
Symptoms of congestive heart failure often include shortness of breath, fatigue, and irregular heart rhythms known as arrhythmias. Edema, or fluid buildup, particularly in the legs, is another common sign. These symptoms can range from mild to severe and may not always be immediately apparent, but they collectively indicate the heart’s diminished capacity to meet the body’s demands for blood and oxygen.
