Congestive heart failure is a chronic, or long-term, condition that occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs. Proper medication and a healthy lifestyle can reduce the effects of heart failure and the need for hospitalization. Heart failure is not the same as a heart attack. |
