What is Heart Failure?

Heart failure, sometimes known as congestive heart failure, occurs when your heart muscle doesn’t pump blood as well as it should. Certain conditions, such as narrowed arteries in your heart (coronary artery disease), high blood pressure or heat attacks can leave your heart too weak or stiff to fill and pump efficiently.
