Congestive Heart Failure

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition where the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath and swelling due to fluid retention. It can be caused by various heart conditions and can affect the heart's ability to contract or relax. Early diagnosis, lifestyle changes, and medical treatment can help manage CHF and prevent it from progressing.
