Heart failure

Heart failure can affect the right or left side of your heart, or both at the same time. It can be either an acute (short-term) or chronic (ongoing) condition. In acute heart failure, the symptoms appear suddenly but go away fairly quickly. This condition often occurs after a heart attack. It may also be a result of a problem with the heart valves that control the flow of blood in the heart.

The vast majority of heart failure cases are chronic.About 5.7 million AmericansTrusted Source have heart failure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Heart failure is most often related to another disease or illness.
