More Definitions of Heart Failure

Heart Failure means the condition consisting of symptoms of heart failure in humans in which [***], i.e., heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Heart Failure means cardiac function that cannot meet the metabolic demands of the body at normal pressures, leading to shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, edema, or heart rhythm disorders (Libby and Braunwald, 2008). As the disease progresses, these symptoms

Heart Failure means the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body’s demands. It is usually caused by the lower heart chambers’ (ventricles) inability to contract or relax properly. Over time, heart failure causes fluids to build up (congest) in the body, which can lead to shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling and heart rhythm abnormalities. Heart failure is a serious condition, but it does not mean that the heart has stopped working.

Heart Failure means that the heart is not pumping as efficiently as it should to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the body. CHF occurs when the heart's weakened pumping action results in a buildup of fluid called congestion in your lungs and other body parts. The condition develops slowly, and may go undetected for years. The heart attempts to compensate for its weakened state by enlarging, and forcing itself to pump faster to move more blood through the body.
