Overview"Understanding Heart Failure The term ""heart failure"" might sound like the heart has completely stopped working, but that's not true. Heart failure, or HF, means the heart isn't pumping blood as well as it should. Congestive heart failure is a type of heart failure that needs medical attention quickly, although sometimes people use these terms interchangeably. Our bodies need the heart to pump blood full of oxygen and nutrients to all our cells. When someone has heart failure, their heart is weaker and can't pump enough blood to the cells. This can make a person feel very tired, short of breath, and might cause a lot of coughing. Simple activities like walking, climbing stairs, or carrying groceries can become very hard. Heart failure is a serious condition, and usually, there is no cure. However, many people with heart failure can still enjoy life by managing their condition with medication and a healthy lifestyle. Having the support of family and friends who understand your condition can also make a big difference."
