When should I call my doctor? Printer-friendly version Email this article Your heart has lost some ability to pump blood. This can cause shortness of breath, weakness and fluid buildup. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is serious, but many treatments can help you feel better. If you know a lot about CHF, you have a good chance of staying out of the hospital. Return to top The most common causes of CHF are: Return to top Although drinking a small amount of alcohol (one drink a day) seems to be helpful in some people with heart disease, drinking too much may cause heart failure and interfere with medicines. Ask your doctor if any amount of alcohol is safe for you. Keep your blood pressure well controlled. High blood pressure strains your heart and further weakens it.

Understanding Heart Failure Understanding heart failure is key to successful management . http://www.clevelandclinic.org/heartcenter/pub/guide/disease/heartfailure/unders
Extractions: Heart failure means that the heart's pumping power is weaker than normal. Heart failure does not mean that your heart has stopped working. With heart failure, blood moves through the heart and body at a slower rate, and pressure in the heart increases. Therefore, the heart cannot pump enough oxygen and nutrients to meet the body's needs. The chambers of the heart respond by stretching to hold more blood to pump through the body. This helps to keep the blood moving for a short while, but then the heart muscle walls weaken and are not able to pump as strongly. The kidneys often respond by causing the body to retain fluid (water) and sodium. If fluid builds up in the arms, legs, ankles, feet, lungs or other organs, the body becomes congested, and congestive heart failure is the term used to describe the condition. What are the symptoms of heart failure?
