Re-hospitalizationSudden death
A condition characterized by the progressive decline in heart’s
ability to pump enough blood to supply the body’s needs for
blood & oxygen
What is
Heart Failure?
Dizziness
Shortness of breath
Edema
Chronic coughing
wheezing
HF Conditions
HOW our heart pumps
1- Congestive Heart Failure
The blood flow out of the heart slows & blood returning to the heart through the
veins backs up, causing congestion in the body's tissues
2- Right-sided Heart Failure
The right ventricles are not able to pump the blood properly
3- Left-sided Heart Failure
The left ventricles are not able to pump the blood properly
3A- Diastolic Heart Failure ( HFpEF)
LV muscles becomes stiffer than normal then loses its ability to relax normally
and can't properly fill with blood
3B- Systolic Heart Failure (HFrEF)
LV muscles loses its ability to contract normally or to pump out oxygenated blood
Rapid/irregular heartbeat
Lack of appetite

NORMAL Ejection Fraction = 50 - 70%
BORDERLINE Ejection Fraction = 41 - 49%
Heart Ejection Fraction =
amount of blood in the heart
amount of the blood pumped out
