This document provides an overview of congestive heart failure presented by Ms. Sayali Dilip Powar of the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at Tatyasaheb Kore College of Pharmacy. It defines congestive heart failure as a condition where the heart does not pump blood as efficiently as it should. The document outlines the etiology, or causes, of congestive heart failure including hypertension, coronary artery disease, and valve conditions. It lists the common signs and symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling, and chest pain. Finally, it discusses complications that can arise from congestive heart failure like kidney damage, heart valve problems, and liver damage.

3. DEFINE CHF/CCF
• A chronic condition in which the heart doesn't pump blood as
well as it should.
• Heart failure does not mean the heart has stopped working.
Rather, it means that the heart works less efficiently than
normal.

4. ETIOLOGY
• HEART FAILURE USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN ANOTHER CONDITION STIFFENS
OR WEAKENS THE HEART. THE CHAMBERS OF YOUR HEART WILL NOT FILL
CORRECTLY BETWEEN BEATS BECAUSE THE MUSCLE IS DAMAGED OR THE
VENTRICLES HAVE BEEN STRETCHED. THIS WILL CAUSE YOUR BODY TO
RECEIVE AN INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF BLOOD AND THEREFORE MAKING
IT HARD FOR YOUR HEART TO KEEP UP WITH THE BODIES’ DEMANDS.
• Hypertension
• Coronary artery disease
• Cholesterol and other types of fatty substances can block the coronary
arteries
• Valve conditions
• Your heart valves regulate blood flow through your heart by opening and
closing to let blood in and out of the chambers.
• Other conditions
• These include diabetes, thyroid disease, and obesity.

5. SIGN & SYMPTOMS
 Physical fatigue
 Shortness of breath and coughing up pink foam like mucus

 Swelling of feet, ankles, and legs
 Decrease in exercise
 Increased urination (especially at night)
 Wheezing or coughing with white or red colored phlegm

7. COMPLICATION
Kidney damage or failure. Heart failure can
reduce the blood flow to your kidneys, which
can eventually cause kidney failure if left
untreated.
Heart valve problems.
Heart rhythm problems.
Liver damage.
