Solution

Heart failure a terminal illness
The heart's inability to adequately pump blood to the body is what causes heart failure.
Over time, a person with heart failure sees their heart weaken.
Common symptoms in end-stage heart failure include pain.
The terminal end-stage of heart disease is characterized by patients with a life expectancy of six months or fewer.
However, congestive heart failure life expectancy can only be determined clinically by a doctor.
