What is Heart Failure?

Heart failure, sometimes known as congestive heart failure, occurs when your heart muscle doesn't pump blood as well as it should. Certain conditions, such as narrowed arteries in your heart (coronary artery disease) or high blood pressure, gradually leave your heart too weak or stiff to fill and pump efficiently.

Not all conditions that lead to heart failure can be reversed, but treatments can improve the signs and symptoms of heart failure and help you live longer. Lifestyle changes — such as exercising, reducing sodium in your diet, managing stress and losing weight — can improve your quality of life.

One way to prevent heart failure is to prevent and control conditions that cause heart failure, such as coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or obesity.

  • What are the symptoms of congestive heart failure?

    Common symptoms of heart failure include:


    •  Shortness of breath during daily activities
    •  Having trouble breathing when lying down
    •  Weight gain with swelling in the feet, legs, ankles, or stomach
    • Generally feeling tired or weak

  • What are some risk factors for congestive heart failure?

    Unhealthy behaviors can also increase your risk for heart failure, especially for people who have one of the conditions listed above. Unhealthy behaviors include:

  • Diagnosis of congestive heart failure in Daytona Beach, FL

    To diagnose heart failure, your doctor will take a careful medical history, review your symptoms and perform a physical examination. Your doctor will also check for the presence of risk factors, such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease or diabetes.


    Using a stethoscope, your doctor can listen to your lungs for signs of congestion. The stethoscope also picks up abnormal heart sounds that may suggest heart failure. The doctor may examine the veins in your neck and check for fluid buildup in your abdomen and legs.


    After the physical exam, your doctor may also order some of these tests:


    • Blood tests. 
    • Chest X-ray. 
    • Electrocardiogram (ECG). 
    • Echocardiogram. 
    • Stress test.
    • Cardiac computerized tomography (CT) scan. 
    • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 
    • Coronary angiogram. 
    • Myocardial biopsy.

    • Devices that remove excess salt and water from the blood
    • Heart transplant
    • Defibrillator

    People with heart failure also track their symptoms each day so that they can discuss these symptoms with their health care team.
