Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)

Heart failure can occur if the heart cannot pump (systolic) or fill (diastolic) adequately. This means that the heart doesn't work as well as it should, and can't pump blood well enough to meet your body's needs all the time.

Regardless, there are many ways that you can manage your diet, medications, and lifestyle to control symptoms.
