Heart failure often develops after other conditions have damaged or weakened your heart. Over time, the heart can no longer cope with the demand it faces normal to pump blood around the body. The main pumping chambers of the heart (the ventricles) can become stiff and not fill properly between beats. In addition, the heart muscle can weaken, and the ventricles stretch (dilate) so that the heart can not pump blood efficiently through his body. The term "congestive heart failure" comes from the backup in the blood - or congest - the liver, abdomen, legs and lungs.
Heart failure can cause the left side, right side or both sides of the heart. Typically, heart failure begins on the left - especially the left ventricle, the main pumping chamber of the heart.
