Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition where the heart cannot pump blood effectively, leading to a buildup of fluid in the lungs and other parts of the body. This can cause symptoms such as 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. Treatment for CHF often includes lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes medical devices or surgery. Managing underlying conditions is crucial to improving heart function and quality of life. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider are essential for monitoring and adjusting treatment as needed.
