Congestive heart failure (CHF)

The heart pumps blood through the arteries and veins. With congestive heart failure, the pumping force of the heart is reduced. Left sided heart failure results in fluid backing up into the lungs causing breathing problems, and right sided heart failure produces fluid in the legs (edema) and the abdomen (ascites). Congestive heart failure (CHF) can have many causes with the most common being high blood pressure (hypertension), heart attacks, viral heart infections (myocarditis), congenital heart defects, and valvular heart disease. Patients with known CHF can experience worsening symptoms if they eat too much salt, stop taking their medications or have another co-existing illness such as pneumonia.
