Heart failure happens when the heart cannot pump blood
efficiently to the lungs and body tissues. Usually,
this is because the heart muscle has been weakened over
time by an underlying problem such as a heart attack,
coronary heart disease (blocked arteries leading to
restricted blood flow), high blood pressure or a congenital
(from birth) defect in the heart’s walls or valves.
