Heart failure
Heart failure means your heart has become too weak to pump enough blood to your organs and tissues. Heart failure is often the result of damage or injury to your heart caused by other heart problems and high blood pressure. Heart failure is a long-term condition that tends to get worse over time. It is important to manage your health to improve your quality of life. Heart failure can be worsened by heavy alcohol use, smoking, diabetes, and obesity.

The risks of heart failure
Heart failure, and conditions that cause heart failure, increase your risk for a blood clot or stroke. It also increases your risk for respiratory (lung) failure. Your kidneys may not receive enough oxygen to filter your blood properly. This can lead to fluid retention (a build up of fluid in your body). Fluid in your heart can also back up as it fails and cause fluid retention. In addition to physical symptoms, many heart failure patients have depression or anxiety. With or without treatment, your symptoms could worsen suddenly and become life-threatening.
