Heart Failure.

Due to heart failure in some people the heart is unable to pump enough blood to support other parts of the body. In other people the heart muscles become rigid and hard, which inhibits or decreases blood flow from the heart. Failure of the heart can affect the right, left or both parts of your heart. It is either intense or runs for long periods of time.



Symptoms of acute failure of the heart suddenly appear but their effect is quickly over. This usually occurs after heart attack or due to the problem in the valve of the heart.

 Due to heart failure, your heart cells can stretch so that they can take more blood from other parts of your body. It works for some time but after some time it will weaken your heart's walls. If this happens then the fluid will start accumulating in your hands, ankles, legs, lungs and other organs.

 Types of Heart Failure.


 Failure of the heart can be in the right or left part of your heart. Both parts of your heart may also fail.

 1. Failure of the left side of the heart.

 The failure of the left part of the heart is the usual type of heart failure. The left ventricle of the heart is located in the lower part of your heart. It provides oxygenated blood to the body. The failure of the left part of the heart occurs when the blood does not pumping in the left ventricular way of the heart. Because of this, the body does not get sufficient oxygenated blood and the blood is stored in the lungs, which causes problems in breathing.

 2. Failure to the right side of the heart.

 The right ventricle of the heart transmits blood to the lungs and takes oxygen from them. When the right part of the heart does not work in this manner then failure of the right part of the heart becomes a failure. Due to the failure of the left part of the heart, blood is deposited in the lungs, due to which the right part of the heart has to work more. Due to this pressure the right side of the heart fails. Failure to the right part of the heart may also be due to lung disease.

 There are also types of heart failure:

 a) Systolic Heart Failure: When the heart muscles are not normally contracted and oxygenated blood flow to the body is reduced, it is called systolic heart failure.

 b) Diastolic Heart Failure: When your heart is narrowed normally but the ventricle of your heart is not loose, so that your heart gets less blood and the pressure increases in your lungs. Due to this the fluid gets accumulated in your lungs, legs, and stomach.
 Stages of Heart Failure.

 1. Stage A: When you have a risk of heart failure, you have high BP, diabetes, coronary arteries disease or metabolic syndrome, and you have a history of cardiothoxic drug therapy, alcohol drinking, rheumatic fever, cardiomyopathy, family history in this stage .

 2. Stage B: If you have never felt the symptoms of heart failure but you have systolic left ventricular dysfunction; If you are suffering from heart attack, valve disease or cardiomyopathy, or if you were in the left chamber of the heart, do not pump blood, or you could be stage B.

 3. Stage C: If you have a heart failure and have trouble breathing, fatigue and exercise, you may have stage C.

 4. Stage D: If you have systolic heart failure and feel serious symptoms then you have stage D.

 Heart Failure Symptoms.

 1. Excessive fatigue
 2. Sudden weight gain
 3. Not feeling hungry
 4. Chronic coughing
 5. Irregular Pulse
 6. Palpitations (abnormally fasting of heartbeat)
 7. Swelling of the stomach
 8. Having trouble breathing
 9. Swelling of the feet and ankles swelling
10. Grinding of the nerves of the neck

 Causes of Heart Failure.

 1. Coronary Artery Disease: It is a disease of arteries that provides oxygen and blood to the heart. If the arteries are blocked or collapsed then the blood flow to the heart decreases and the heart can not pump the heart.

 2. Heart attack: If the coronary artery stops suddenly, then the blood from the heart muscles gets stuck.

 3. Cardiomyopathy: Problems related to cardiovascular arteries and blood flow; Infection; Due to drinking and drug abuse the heart may be damaged. Due to many other diseases and family problems, heart failure may also be.

 4. High Blood Pressure: Due to hypertension, the heart has to work more than normal to spread blood in the body. For more time when this happens, the heart muscles become thick due to additional work. Due to this, the heart muscles become stiff or weak and it becomes difficult for them to pump blood.

 5. Problems in the heart valves: The valves of your heart give proper direction to blood flow. Any heart problems, Coronary Artery Disease, due to cardiac related infection, your heart has to do extra work due to damaged valves. If it continues for more time, your heart may be weak due to additional work.

 6. Myocarditis: Inflammation caused by the virus in the heart muscles, which can lead to heart failure, is called myocarditis

 7. Arrhythmia: Growth of the heart rate due to the abnormal heartbeat, which causes your heart to work more. For more time, when this happens, your heart may become weak due to excessive work and heart failure. If heart rate is slowed then your heart will not get enough blood and the risk of heart failure will increase.

 8. Problems that caused the heart to work more like heart failure, thyroid, kidney disease and cardiovascular diseases can also lead to heart failure.

 9. If you have problems related to cardiovascular problems such as heart cells or heart valves, then the healthy parts of your heart have to do more work to pump blood, which can cause your heart to fail.

 10. Such viruses that affect the heart muscles, cardiac related severe infections, allergic reactions, blood clots in the lungs, such medicines or diseases that affect the whole body, all of these can lead to acute heart failure.

 Prevention of Heart Failure.

 The risk factors of heart failure such as high blood pressure and coronary artery disease can be reduced by lifestyle changes and with the help of medicines. Failure of heart can be treated with a healthy lifestyle and it can be avoided. By reducing weight and exercising daily, the risk of heart failure can be reduced. Reducing the amount of salt in your diet can also reduce the risk of heart failure.

 You can avoid heart failure by changing your lifestyle:

 1. Reduce the consumption of alcohol.
 2. Do not eat high-fat foods, eat healthy foods and maintain healthy weight.
 3. Complete your sleep.
 4. Do not smoke.
 5. Take control of high blood pressure and diabetes.
 6. Do Exercise.
 7. Reduce stress.
