Congestive Heart Failures are Treated Effectively at Panchmukhi Superspeciality Hospital Pvt Ltd, Patna

Heart failure is a term for a series of physical symptoms arising due to the gradual deterioration in the blood-pumping ability of the human heart. The term “congestive heart failure” was traditionally used because the condition resulted in fluid buildup and congestion in the lungs and later resulted in the failure of its functioning. A healthy human heart relaxes and contracts nearly 100,000 times a day and pumps more than 2,000 gallons of blood for the normal state of the human body.

This cardiovascular system includes a network of arteries and veins to transport deoxygenated and oxygenated blood to and from the heart. Heart failure is characterized by a progressive decline in the capability of the human heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. When that happens, the heart goes through a series of structural changes and beats faster to pump more blood so that it can be prevented from collapsing.

Symptoms

The heart failure symptoms might vary depending on whether they are caused due to a lack of oxygen or an increase in fluid build in the human body. Lack of oxygen supply and excess sodium and fluid buildup in the body might result in the following symptoms of heart failure:-
