Habibiyan Ahmadi

Congestive cardiac failure or Congestive heart failure is a state at which heart cannot supply blood sufficiently to maintain homeostasis. Heart failure can occur if the center cannot pump (systolic) or fill (diastolic) adequately. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, swollen legs and rapid heartbeat. Treatments can include eating less salt, limiting fluid intake and taking prescription medication. In some cases a defibrillator or pacemaker could also be implanted.
