Definition
Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively to meet the body’s needs, leading to symptoms such as dyspnea (shortness of breath), fatigue, and fluid retention. It is characterized by the need for ongoing, consistent medical management, including treatments like diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and beta-blockers, and may require significant lifestyle modifications or assistance with daily activities.
