Patients with Congestive Heart Failure

Patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) have a condition where the heart's ability to pump blood effectively is weakened. This leads to a buildup of fluid in the lungs, legs, and other parts of the body, causing symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling. CHF can result from various causes such as coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, or heart muscle problems. Managing CHF involves medications, lifestyle changes, and sometimes devices or surgery to improve heart function and reduce fluid buildup, helping patients maintain better quality of life.
