What Does CHF Stand For?
CHF stands for Congestive Heart Failure
CHF, or Congestive Heart Failure, is a chronic medical condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently, leading to a buildup of fluid in the lungs and other parts of the body. This condition can result from various underlying issues, including coronary artery disease, hypertension, and valvular heart disease. Symptoms often include shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs and abdomen. Effective management typically involves lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases, surgical interventions to improve heart function and quality of life.
