Heart failure is very common in this country and usually is caused by weakening of the heart muscle from different causes including heart attack, faulty heart valves and other diseases.
yes
Congestive Heart failure is a weak heart. With treatment CHF gets better. The heart is no longer weak. The best thing is to do echocardiogram.
Heart failure has a medical definition, description, and classification. A weak heart is, in layman's terms, that could be deceiving heart failure. However, it is often used by non medical personnel to cover a host of cardiac conditions.
