Understanding Heart Failure

Heart failure (congestive heart failure) occurs when the heart cannot pump blood effectively, leading to fatigue, breathlessness, and fluid retention. It does not mean the heart has stopped, but that it needs timely medical attention.

At Moolchand Hospital, among the best heart hospitals in Delhi, our superb physicians use advanced diagnostics and evidence-based therapies to help patients live longer, healthier lives.

Causes of Heart Failure

• Coronary artery disease and previous heart attack

• Long-term high blood pressure (hypertension)

• Diabetes and obesity

• Heart valve disease or congenital defects

• Cardiomyopathy, infection, or thyroid disorders

Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore

• Shortness of breath (especially when lying flat)

• Swelling of legs, ankles, or abdomen

• Fatigue or weakness

• Persistent cough or wheezing

• Rapid or irregular heartbeat

• Sudden weight gain from fluid retention

If these occur, search heart specialist near me or visit the Moolchand Heart Centre for prompt evaluation.
