Heart failure is a condition caused by the heart failing to pump enough blood around the body at the right pressure. It usually occurs because the heart muscle has become too weak or stiff to work properly. If you have heart failure, it does not mean your heart is about to stop working.
This happens if the heart muscle becomes stiff from conditions such as high blood pressure. The term congestive heart failure comes from blood backing up into â or congesting â the liver, abdomen, lower extremities and lungs. However, not all heart failure is congestive.
