HEART FAILURE . 

HALLMARKS  OF  HEART FAILURE .                         

• FLUID CONGESTION .

        If the heart becomes less efficient than normal as a pump, your body will try to compensate. One way he tries to do this is via hormones and nerve signals to increase blood volume (by water retention in the kidneys). Decreased blood flow to the kidneys also lead to fluid retention. The blood and fluid pressure behind the sustained cardiac outcome in excess of salt water in the lungs and other body tissues. But it is important to note that all swelling due to fluid accumulation is a reflection of heart failure.

Clinical symptoms due to fluid overload: 

1. Breathlessness .
2. Edema  (pooling of fluid in the lungs and body).

• REDUCED BLOOD FLOW TO THE BODY .

        The heart's inability to pump blood to muscles and organs is not always evident in the early stages of heart failure. Often, it appears that the increase in physical activity. In advanced heart failure, many organs and tissues are not even the oxygen they need to function at rest.

Symptoms due to lack of circulation in the body : 

1. The difficulty of the exercise. 
2. Fatigue.
3. Dizziness (due to the low pressure of the blood ).

CLASSIFICATION OF HEART FAILURE .

Symptoms and physical changes in heart failure, there are many different classifications based on their location and mechanism.

• RIGHT HEART FAILURE - the inability to appropriate the right side of heart pumps venous blood into the lungs into the bloodstream. This causes a backup of fluid in the body, when the swelling and edema. 

• LEFT HEART FAILURE  - a failure of the left side of the heart to pump into the systemic circulation. Back-up behind the left ventricle causes fluid in the lungs. 

SYSTOLIC HEART FAILURE  -  The left ventricle can't contract vigorously, indicating a pumping problem.

DIASTOLIC HEART FAILURE   (also called heart failure with normal ejection fraction) The left ventricle can't relax or fill fully, indicating a filling problem.

In consequence of these errors may be symptoms caused by:

• BACKWARD HEART FAILURE  - the heart's ability to pump blood at a sufficient rate ONLY when heart filling pressures are abnormally high.

• FORWARD HEART FAILURE - Inability of the heart to pump blood adequately to meet the oxygen demands of the body at rest or exercise. 

• CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE - fluid in the lungs or body, which is a consequence of the lack of heart pumping and a big heart and the venous filling pressures.

Isolated heart failure are projected based on several factors. These include age, severity of symptoms, causes, behind heart failure, general health, history of disease and family history also. Lifestyle factors can dictate the prediction of heart failure largely. Otherwise healthy organs for the chance to fight the negative aspects of heart failure, and far more positive and aggressive in the manner of those who have loads of other diseases such as diabetes or high cholesterol or hypertension. As the heart moves in a higher stage of any physical movement difficult. Reduced the amount of blood the heart pumps, the system begins to affect other organs as well as time and the patient is able to fend for themselves. The lack of sufficient time to influence the flow of blood to other body organs and complications begin to make treatment more difficult.
