Types of Congestive Heart Failure

Congestive heart failure is one of the leading chronic conditions which can affect the pumping ability of the heart muscles. Congestive heart failure is simply considered as heart failure but to be specific it is a condition where the fluid builds up surrounding the heart and results in ineffective heart pumping. The heart comprises of four chambers in which upper halves are considered as atria and lower halves are considered as ventricles. The ventricles help in pumping the blood around the organs of the body along with the body tissues. Congestive heart failure is a condition that develops when the ventricles stop pumping enough blood supply towards the body. Eventually, the fluids start building up within the lower body extremities, liver, abdomen and lungs. It can be a life-threatening condition that is divided into multiple types.

6.66 -> TYPES OF CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE: Congestive heart failure is one of the leading
11.2 -> chronic conditions which can affect the pumping ability of the heart muscles.
17.98 -> Congestive heart failure is simply considered as heart failure but to be specific it is
21.97 -> a condition where the fluid builds up surrounding the heart and results in ineffective heart
26.68 -> pumping.
29.54 -> The heart comprises of four chambers in which upper halves are considered as atria and lower
34.32 -> halves are considered as ventricles.
38.3 -> The ventricles help in pumping the blood around the organs of the body along with the body
43.01 -> tissues.
45.05 -> Congestive heart failure is a condition that develops when the ventricles stop pumping
48.92 -> enough blood supply towards the body.
51.07 -> Eventually, the fluids start building up within the lower body extremities, liver, abdomen
55.64 -> and lungs.
56.64 -> It can be a life-threatening condition that is divided into multiple types.
63.84 -> There are different stages of congestive heart failure such as class1 where it is manageable
68.56 -> with the adoption of a healthy lifestyle and certain food choices.
72.599 -> In class 2 congestive heart failure symptoms start appearing like palpitations, fatigue,
77.349 -> and shortness of breath and can be managed through lifestyle.
82 -> In class 3, congestive heart failure is serious with complex symptoms and you need a complicated
87.33 -> treatment at this stage.
90.07 -> In class 4, congestive heart failure, the symptoms are severe and you are unable to
94.61 -> perform any physical activity.
96.61 -> At this stage, there is no such cure but therapeutic options are chosen to reduce your risks to
101.75 -> suffer from death.
104.54 -> You must be wondering what the specific symptoms of heart failure are.
108.19 -> Make sure if you suffer from excessive fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, swelling
113.16 -> of the legs and ankle, protrusion of the neck veins, abdominal swelling, persistent coughing,
119.09 -> excess weight gain, loss of appetite, irregular pulse and others.
123.34 -> If you suffer from such symptoms you are suffering from congestive heart failure so immediately
128.33 -> visit the hospital for appropriate treatment protocol.
133.24 -> The specific types of congestive heart failure include:
136.34 -> The left-sided heart failure is one of the most common forms of congestive heart failure.
140.66 -> It is seen when the left ventricles are unable to pump enough blood throughout the body.
145.44 -> As congestive heart failure progresses, it leads to fluid buildup and leads to breathing
149.99 -> difficulties.
152.59 -> The left-sided heart failure is divided into systolic and diastolic heart failure.
157.79 -> Systolic heart failure is seen when the left ventricle is unable to contract properly.
162.29 -> This improper contraction results in less force due to which the heart is unable to
166.86 -> pump properly.
170.34 -> Diastolic heart failure is seen when the muscles of the left ventricles are stiffer.
174.09 -> In this condition, the heart is unable to fill properly because the relaxation is incomplete
179.14 -> and the blood is seen between regular heartbeats.
184.07 -> The right-sided heart failure is seen where the right ventricle is unable to pump properly
188.33 -> and transport blood to the lungs.
190.45 -> Blood then flows backward in the blood vessels resulting in fluid retention within different
194.7 -> parts of the body like lower body extremities, lungs, abdomen and others.
201.23 -> The right-sided heart failure is usually seen due to left-sided heart failure.
205.21 -> It can also occur due to conditions like lung diseases.
210.23 -> Heart failure is one of the serio us medical conditions which requires immediate treatment.
215.4 -> Immediate treatment plan allows you to recovery for long-term and reduces your chance to suffer
220.04 -> from complications that might lead to death.
