Last year I talked about heart attack and stroke. This information can be found at http://livingthehealthylifewehavechoices.blogspot.com/2012/02/february-3-national-wear-red-day.html
The next several posts will discuss
another type of heart disease called congestive heart failure. What is Congestive heart disease?
Congestive heart failure (or heart failure) occurs when a person’s
heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body’s need. Inadequate pumping could be due to damaged
heart muscle from a heart attack, a heart valve problem or an infection (often
viral) which weakens the heart muscle. Uncontrolled high blood pressure or an
irregular, inefficient heart beat can cause heart failure. Also a person can be born with a (Congenital)
heart condition which may cause heart failure.
