About Heart Failure in Hyderabad
Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart muscle becomes unable to pump blood efficiently enough to meet the body's needs, leading to a backup of fluid in the lungs, legs, and other tissues. It can result from the heart muscle becoming weakened and unable to contract properly, or from the heart becoming stiff and unable to relax and fill with blood adequately between beats. Heart failure typically develops as the end result of other cardiac conditions such as coronary artery disease, long-standing hypertension, or valve disease that have progressively damaged the heart over time. Symptoms often worsen gradually, though acute episodes of decompensation can occur suddenly and require urgent hospital treatment. While heart failure cannot usually be cured, it can be effectively managed with medication and lifestyle changes to control symptoms, slow progression, and extend life expectancy.
