Heart Failure


Heart failure is when the heart can't pump sufficiently to maintain a blood flow to meet the body's needs, which is true;

Heart failure has been around for years, so it isn't new.

 

The symptoms of heart failure include fatigue, leg swelling, and shortness of breath;

Heart failure can cause a person's death.

 

The causes of heart failure include heart damage, an infection, and excessive alcohol use, as you can see;

The other causes include an abnormal heart rhythm, high blood pressure, and a heart attack and I'm speaking honestly.

 

Heart failure can be cured, which is wonderful as can be;

It can be cured with a left ventricular assist device and gene therapy.

 

My youngest sister had suffered from two heart failures and passed away;

Here are more things that I'll say.

 

If she had avoided drinking excessively and had received that mechanical heart pump and gene therapy, she'd still be alive feeling well;

A person's heart should be in good health and that's all that I'll tell.
