Heart failure is a condition in which the heart muscle becomes too weak to pump blood and oxygen throughout the body effectively. The condition occurs gradually because the heart first tries to compensate by becoming enlarged, pumping faster, or producing more muscle mass to thicken its walls. After a while, these alternatives are not effective and the heart becomes even weaker, causing blood to back up into the lungs and other parts of the body. This is
why many individuals with heart failure experience symptoms such as
shortness of breath, swelling in the extremities, and fatigue.
