Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle fails to adequately pump blood.
Heart Attack Heart Failure
1. A blockage in a coronary artery prevents blood flow to the heart muscle. 1. The failure of one or more of the heart's ventricles.
2. One or more coronary arteries are blocked by cholesterol plaque. 2. Heart attacks, congenital heart disease, heart valve disease, arrhythmias, infections, and drugs are all possibilities.
3. Diagnosis includes cardiac enzyme levels and ECG. 3. Diagnoses include an ECG, chest X-ray, MRI, and echocardiography.
4. Sweating, soreness in the jaw, neck, and chest, shortness of breath, dizziness, and nausea are among the symptoms. 4. Shortness of breath and clogged lungs are signs of left ventricle failure, while right ventricle failure is accompanied by swelling legs and abdomen.
