Congestive Heart Failure

Congestive Heart Failure

What is heart failure (CFF)?

Failure of the heart describes the failure of the heart or the failure of limbs and tissues to meet adequate oxygen and nutrient requirements. It decreases the cardiac output is the amount of inadequate blood volume of the heart from the body of the pump is circulated to return to the lungs of the heart and heart so that the vessel leaks from a thousand miles away from fluid (mainly water). It can lead to respiratory fatigue, weakness and swelling symptoms.

Understand the flow of blood in the heart and body

On the right side of the heart, the lungs have a blood pump, the blood pump is located on the left side of the body. Blood is the right ventricle, pulmonary artery which is pumped into the lungs, which flows through the body through the right edge of the slip in the production of toxic blood in the lungs in the lungs, and In the lungs, oxygen is full of red blood cells, pulmonary veins back to the heart through the left artery. 

Then there is a blood flow pump in the body or body tissues of the left ventricle. Downloaded oxygen from the red blood cells in various organs, and carbon dioxide (metabolic waste) for the lungs. Then the blood starts back again to the right edge of the circle. The abnormal nerve in the lungs, they take blood oxygen, and the blood of the lungs there is Disco. The rest of the body reigns against the duties of veins and arteries.

Left ventricular failure occurs in the left ventricle, back inadequate and can not be breathed by blood and body fluid due to lungs and bend. The right heart failure occurs in the right ventricle, there will not be enough blood in the lungs. Blood and fluid can make up the nerve back up, build blood in the heart so that the liquid can leak into tissues and organs.

It is important to know that both sides of the heart can be completely unable to play their role, which is called cardiac failure. Often the most common heart failure is due to heart failure.
