Heart Failure

What is Heart Failure?

Heart failure is a condition that can lead to decreased blood flow to the heart. Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump blood efficiently. This can be due to a variety of reasons, including a heart attack, high blood pressure, or an infection.

While this condition can be serious, there are treatments available that can help improve symptoms and quality of life.
