Heart Failure

Heart failure is a chronic heart disease that is accompanied by deterioration of the function of the right side of the heart. This may be due to an irregular heartbeat, birth defects, or damage to an organ due to inflammation.

Heart failure is not a rare disease and can happen at any age. Symptoms of heart failure usually develop gradually and depend on the type of heart failure. For example, shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling may be signs of chronic congestive or right heart failure.

Cardiologists, rheumatologists and other specialists can treat heart failure. Treatment can be aimed at improving blood circulation in target organs, reducing the load on the heart muscle and increasing its energy potential. Some possible treatment options include pharmacotherapy, surgery, and lifestyle changes.

In most patients, heart failure is treated comprehensively; the doctor must select the optimal treatment for each patient, taking into account not only his

Heart failure (HC), also known as heart failure (HF), is a disorder of cardiac function that increases the workload of the heart and leads to feelings of weakness, changes in breathing rate and difficulty speaking, as well as fatigue and slow reactions.

Heart failure can be associated with various heart diseases, such as syndrome X or hypertension, coronary artery disease or heart attack. With chronic heart failure, pressure in the veins of the legs increases, which can cause swelling of the lower extremities. The person feels weak, may vomit, breathe faster, have pain in the chest or back, and may feel an increased heart rate. An interruption in the rhythm of the heart contraction appears. Such symptoms indicate an acute condition and in this case, emergency hospitalization and treatment prescribed by a doctor are required.

Cardiac fatigue due to heart failure is caused by the heart's insufficient pumping capacity to deliver enough blood and oxygen throughout the body. This insufficiency is sometimes caused by reasons such as decreased blood flow in the coronary vessels, which supply the heart with blood and oxygen. Other possible causes could be increased muscle tension on the heart.
