What is Congestive Heart Failure?

Congestive heart failure or heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood throughout the body efficiently. This is due to the weakness or stiffness of the heart. The term heart failure does not mean that your heart has stopped functioning. It just requires additional support to help work better. This is a long-term condition that tends to worsen over time. It cannot be cured, however, the symptoms can often be controlled for years.
