An inability of the heart to pump enough blood to sustain normal bodily functions.
condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood at an adequate rate or in adequate volume, resulting in gradual or rapid congestion of the lungs, shortness of breath, enlarged liver. Death.
Failure of the heart to pump blood efficiently. Heart failure may be produced by myocardial infarction
Inadequate pumping of the heart to maintain the forward circulation of blood, often resulting in the development of congestive heart failure and swelling in body tissues
Death of heart muscle, causing loss of blood circulation and possibly death.
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
When the pumping action of the heart is inadequate to meet the demands of the body.
a condition where the heart is unable to pump enough blood to body tissues. Blood pressure builds up in the veins, and the lungs and liver become congested, which leads to breathlessness, swollen ankles, etc. The cause is any condition that damages heart muscle or reduces its ability to work normally. When the heartbeat stops suddenly and permanently, the result is death.
(noun) the inability of the heart to perform all the work needed for normal circulation.
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.
condition where weakness of the beating action of the heart causes fluid retention and symptoms of shortness of breath and tiredness on exercise. It can be associated with heart beat irregularities, fluid in the lungs or swollen legs.
a progressive cardiovascular disorder in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs
Inability of the heart to adequately pump blood.
A chronic, progressive condition in which the heart gradually loses it ability to pump blood; as a result, the body's organs and tissue fail to receive sufficient oxygen.
Occurs when the heart becomes weak and may not be able to pump blood as well as a normal heart. The body may not be able to get the blood and oxygen it needs to work properly.
inability of the heart to pump enough blood through the body. There are numerous causes and types of heart failure.
Heart failure occurs when the heart muscles become overworked from the strain of pushing blood through narrow hard blood vessels.
impairment of the pumping functions of the heart as the result of heart disease; heart failure often causes physical disability and increased risk for other cardiovascular disease (CVD) events.
Heart failure, or cardiomyopathy, occurs when the heart muscle is too weak to effectively pump blood through the body. Early diagnosis and treatment can stop or slow progression of heart failure.
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.
is a clinical syndrome or a collection of symptoms that indicate the heart is not able to pump enough blood to meet the body's energy demands. Heart failure typically develops slowly after injury to the heart, such as a heart attack, too much strain on the heart due to years of untreated high blood pressure or a diseased heart valve. "Failure" doesn't mean that the heart has stopped pumping, but rather that it is failing to pump as effectively as it should.
A syndrome in which the heart isn't able to pump blood to meet the demands of the body.
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.
The inability of the heart to efficiently pump blood to the body, characterized by difficulty breathing, chronic fatigue and fluid retention.
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. ? Calcium 2 TBL ? Gold 2 tsp. Pm ? Magnesium 2 TBL ? Selenium 1 TBL am ? Silver 2 TBL am and pm ? Zinc 2 tsp.
Disease state caused by impaired pumping of the heart.
the inability of the heart to pump blood effectively
The inability of the heart to keep up with its workload. When someone has this condition, their heart cannot pump enough blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. Heart failure is often a chronic condition that can be treated with medications, diet, and other lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgery.
A condition occurring when your heart is damaged or weak and can's pump blood efficiently.
A serious condition in which the heart pumps blood less effectively than normal. As a result, the heart is unable to provide enough blood to other organs. Congestive heart failure occurs when the ineffective pumping leads to a buildup of fluid in the tissues, which is called edema. The term "heart failure" does not mean that the heart has stopped.
Failure of the myocardium that develops when the heart is not strong enough to pump sufficient blood with oxygen and nutrients into the organism Heart rhythm disturbance (arrhythmia): An irregular heartbeat, such as tachycardia (accelerated rhythm) and bradycardia (slowed rhythm)
Occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently, so that the body's need for oxygen is not being met. Also called congestive heart failure.
Also called congestive heart failure. A serious condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to supply the body's needs. CHF occurs when excess fluid starts to leak into the lungs, causing breathing difficulty, fatigue and weakness, and sleeping problems. High blood pressure is the number one risk factor for CHF. (Read about " Congestive Heart Failure")
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.
A condition in which the heart cannot pump enough blood to support the rest of the body.
when your heart muscle doesn't pump as much blood as the body needs. Failure doesn't mean that the heart has stopped pumping but that it is failing to pump as effectively as it should.
a chronic condition that occurs when your heart has become weakened due to injury to the heart muscle. As a result, the heart pumps too little blood to meet the body's needs.
The inability for the heart to pump blood under its own power due to failure of electrochemical stimulation or incorrect chamber synchronization
Inability of the heart to keep up with the demands on it and, specifically, failure of the heart to pump blood with normal efficiency. When this occurs, the heart is unable to provide adequate blood flow to other organs such as the brain, liver and kidneys. Heart failure may be due to failure of the right or left or both ventricles. The signs and symptoms depend upon which side of the heart is failing. They can include shortness of breath (dyspnea), asthma due to the heart (cardiac asthma), pooling of blood (stasis) in the general body (systemic) circulation or in the liver's (portal) circulation, swelling ( edema ), blueness or duskiness (cyanosis), and enlargement (hypertrophy) of the heart.

Poor pumping function of the heart that results in symptoms such as extreme tiredness, shortness of breath, or swelling of hands and feet. Back to Previous Page
A condition resulting form the heart's inability to pump sufficient blood to maintain normal circulation. this often leads to congestive heart failure in which blood and fluids back up in the lungs, causing congestion in the abdomen or legs.
This disorder occurs when a damaged heart becomes unable to pump effectively, depriving the body's tissues of adequate oxygen and nutrients to function properly. Heart failure can be either acute (short-term) or chronic, and has a variety of different causes.
Loss of pumping ability by the heart, often accompanied by fatigue, breathlessness, and excess fluid accumulation in body tissues.
Loss of blood-pumping ability by the heart.
When the heart’s pumping action is too weak or too slow, slowing down blood flow. High blood pressure is a leading cause of heart failure.
is a chronic, progressive disease where the heart can no longer pump with enough force to provide oxygen-rich blood to all parts of the body and results in fluid collecting throughout the body.
See congestive heart failure
An illness in which the heart doesn't pump blood through the body as it should. Heart failure has no cure, but it can be treated with medications, diet, and other lifestyle changes.
A condition in which the heart fails to pump an adequate supply of blood to the body tissues, often resulting in fluid accumulation in the lungs and/or lower extremities.
a chronic, progressive cardiac condition in which a damaged heart fails to beat efficiently and deliver enough blood to meet the bodyâ€(tm)s needs
Loss of the ability by the heart (ventricles) to pump blood. Therefore, blood begins to stagnate in the tissues, causing back pressure. This back pressure results in swelling of veins in the body and neck, edema, lung congestion and breathlessness. In cases where not enough blood reaches the vital organs of the body, cardiogenic shock results. Causes of heart failure include coronary thrombosis, myocardial infarctions, diseased valves and arrhythmias.
Congestive heart failure (CHF), also called congestive cardiac failure (CCF) or just heart failure, is a condition that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the heart to fill with or pump a sufficient amount of blood throughout the body. It is not to be confused with "cessation of heartbeat", which is known as asystole, or with cardiac arrest, which is the cessation of normal cardiac function with subsequent hemodynamic collapse leading to death. Because not all patients have volume overload at the time of initial or subsequent evaluation, the term "heart failure" is preferred over the older term "congestive heart failure".
