The cessation of the heartbeat; cardiac arrest
The chronic inability of the heart to pump a sufficient amount of blood throughout the body, leading to a pooling of blood and shortness of breath
A condition where the heart muscle weakens and cannot pump blood efficiently Fluid accumulates in the lungs, hands, ankles, or other parts of the body
The result of weakening of heart muscle from one of many causes which results in inadequate supply of blood to the body and often build-up of fluid in the lungs
The failure of the heart to pump well enough to supply blood to the rest of the body
Heart failure is a serious medical condition in which someone's heart does not work as well as it should, sometimes stopping completely so that they die. a serious medical condition in which someone's heart stops working properly, often resulting in death = heart attack. Inability of one or both sides of the heart to pump enough blood for the body. Causes include pulmonary heart disease, hypertension, and coronary atherosclerosis. A person with left-sided heart failure experiences shortness of breath after exertion, difficulty in breathing while lying down and night breathlessness, and abnormally high pressure in the pulmonary veins. A person with right-sided failure experiences abnormally high pressure in the systemic veins, liver enlargement, and accumulation of fluid in the legs. A person with failure of both ventricles has an enlarged heart and a three-beat heartbeat. Treatment includes bed rest, medications such as digitalis, control of excess salt and water retention, and elimination of the underlying cause. See also congestive heart failure
Heart failure is a degenerative condition that occurs when the heart muscle
A condition that causes the heart to pump blood less effectively than normal As a result, fluid often collects in the lungs, leading to breathlessness and swelling of the legs and ankles Common causes include chronic hypertension and heart attack
inability of the heart to function properly
The job of the heart is to pump blood and oxygen to all of the cells in the body If the heart cannot pump vigorously enough to accomplish this, it is called heart failure If blood is not being pumped well, but instead congesting in abnormal places, the clincal signs of edema and JVD (jugular venous distension) are seen The patient often feels tired and short of breath There are many causes of heart failure and the treatment depends of the underlying cause For example, some people have systolic heart failure where their heart is not able to pump strongly Fewer people have a different type of heart failure called diastolic failure because their hearts cannot relax and allow blood to return
inability of the heart to pump enough blood to sustain normal bodily functions
-See congestive heart failure
Heart failure is a degenerative condition that occurs when the heart muscle weakens and the ventricle no longer contracts normally The heart can then no longer pump enough blood to the body This may limit exercise tolerance, or may cause fluid retention with swelling of the feet or shortness of breath
a condition caused by weakening of the heart muscle The heart is strained and can not pump enough blood Fluid can build up in the lungs and other parts of the body Symptoms can include shortness of breath and swelling of the legs, ankles and feet
inability of the heart to maintain adequate circulation resulting in a syndrome of weakness, shortness of breath, pitting edema, pulmonary edema and distended neck veins
After multiple heart attacks, the heart becomes very enlarged and stretched out and loses its elasticity It becomes so weak it cannot function or contract enough to supply the body's needs When this happens the patient is said to be in heart failure
Death of heart muscle, causing loss of blood circulation and possibly death

Related Terms

congestive heart failure
A syndrome marked by weakness, edema and shortness of breath, due to the inability of the heart to circulate the blood adequately to the lungs and other tissues
congestive heart failure
A condition marked by weakness, edema, and shortness of breath that is caused by the inability of the heart to maintain adequate blood circulation in the peripheral tissues and the lungs. Heart failure resulting in the accumulation of fluid in the lungs and other body tissues. It is related mainly to salt and water retention in the tissues rather than directly to reduced blood flow. Blood pools in the veins (vascular congestion) because the heart does not pump efficiently enough to allow it to return. It may vary from the most minimal symptoms to sudden pulmonary edema or a rapidly lethal shocklike state (see shock). Chronic states of varying severity may last years. Symptoms tend to worsen as the body's attempts to compensate for the condition create a vicious circle. The patient has trouble breathing, at first during exertion and later even at rest. Treatment is directed toward increasing the strength of the heart's muscle contraction, reduction of fluid accumulation, and elimination of the underlying cause of the failure

condition in which the heart does not pump properly and causes an accumulation of fluid in the lungs, CHF (Medicine)
