Heart failure is a long-term condition in which the heart loses the efficiency of pumping sufficient blood to meet bodily requirements. It can affect the left or right side of the heart or both as well. It occurs in two forms i.e. acute or chronic. In acute heart failure, the symptoms come suddenly and go away quickly. Some people can experience it after a heart attack. It is an outcome of issues with the heart valves controlling blood flow in the heart. In chronic heart failure, symptoms are constant and don’t get better over time.
According to a study, it is found that men experience heart failure more than women, however, women are more likely to die from this condition. Heart failure is a serious condition which requires immediate treatment.
It is difficult to reverse heart failure as it is a long-term condition. However, treatment can help ease the symptoms for years. The primary treatment usually recommended is healthy lifestyle changes.
There is no cure for heart failure but you can take certain steps to ease the symptoms with certain lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, regularly exercising, eating healthy and green vegetables, etc.
Usually, people who have experienced congestive heart failure can survive for around five years and around 35% of people can survive for around 10 years.
