Congestive Heart Disease

Congestive Heart Failure does not mean that the heart stops functioning. CHF occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood through the body. CHF can affect multiple organs within the body if there is an inadequate amount of blood being pumped to that region.

The leading cause of CHF is heart muscle weakening, which can be attributed to a number of factors such as CAD, high blood pressure, alcohol abuse, anatomical disorders of the heart, and various disorders that affect other organs. Common symptoms of CHF include shortness of breath; swelling in the feet, ankles, or legs; and fatigue.
