CHF
CHF, or Congestive Heart Failure, is a medical condition where the heart cannot pump blood effectively. This can lead to a buildup of fluid in the lungs and other parts of the body, causing symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs and abdomen. CHF can result from various heart conditions, including coronary artery disease and high blood pressure.
Management of CHF often involves lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes medical procedures. Patients are encouraged to follow a heart-healthy diet, exercise regularly, and monitor their weight. Early diagnosis and treatment can help improve quality of life and reduce hospitalizations related to this condition.
