What is heart failure?
Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood as effectively as the body needs. This can affect how oxygen and nutrients are delivered to organs and tissues, leading to symptoms that impact daily life, physical capacity, and overall well-being.
Heart failure does not mean the heart has stopped working. Instead, it means the heart is working less efficiently and may struggle to meet the body’s demands — especially during physical activity or periods of stress. Some forms of heart failure progress slowly over time, while others can worsen more rapidly or fluctuate between stable and unstable phases.
Types and stages of heart failure
Heart failure can be classified in several ways, depending on how the heart is affected and how advanced the condition is:
- Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) occurs when the heart muscle is weakened and cannot pump blood forcefully enough.
- Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) occurs when the heart pumps normally but is too stiff to fill properly.
- Heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) represents an intermediate group with characteristics of both.
- Chronic heart failure is long-term and requires ongoing management.
- Acute or decompensated heart failure refers to a sudden worsening of symptoms that may require urgent medical attention.
How heart failure develops and who it affects
Heart failure develops when the heart can no longer pump blood as efficiently as the body needs, often due to long-term strain or damage. Common causes include high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, previous heart attacks, heart valve disease, and cardiomyopathies.
While heart failure can occur at any age, it is more common in adults over 65. Risk is higher in people with diabetes, obesity, kidney disease, or a family history of heart conditions. Treatments can help manage symptoms and slow progression, but ongoing monitoring is usually needed.
Heart failure primarily affects the heart, but reduced blood flow and fluid buildup can also impact the lungs, kidneys, and legs—shaping energy levels, breathing, and daily functioning.
Common symptoms of heart failure may include:
- Shortness of breath (during activity or at rest)
- Fatigue or reduced exercise tolerance
- Swelling in the legs, ankles, feet, or abdomen
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat
- Weight gain from fluid retention
- Persistent cough or wheezing
- Difficulty lying flat or waking up short of breath
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Reduced concentration or mental clarity
- Loss of appetite or nausea
