Congestive heart failure (CHF) (also called heart failure) is a serious progressive condition in which the heart muscle is less able to contract or is structurally limited in its ability to fill with blood. As a result, the heart’s pumping action can’t keep up with the body’s demand. Blood returns to the heart faster than it can be pumped out resulting in not enough oxygen-rich blood getting circulated to the body’s other organs.
To compensate the heart beats faster to take less time for refilling after it contracts—but over the long run, less blood circulates, and the extra effort can cause heart palpitations. The heart chamber enlarges to make room for the extra blood, or the chamber walls become stiff and thickened. The lungs fill with fluid, causing shortness of breath. The kidneys typically respond by causing the body to retain fluid (water) and salt. If fluid builds up in the arms, legs, ankles, feet, or other organs, thus the body becomes congested.
