What Does HF Stand For?
HF stands for Heart Failure
Heart Failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome characterized by the heart's inability to pump sufficient blood to meet the body's needs. It can result from various underlying conditions, including coronary artery disease, hypertension, and diabetes. Symptoms commonly associated with HF include breathlessness, fatigue, fluid retention, and reduced exercise tolerance. Effective management often requires a combination of lifestyle modifications, medication, and sometimes surgical interventions to improve quality of life and prolong survival.
