My dad just recently died from this on July 31. I still feel he had hope. Please people take care of you health. What people go through with Congestive heart failure is sad. He had a chance to get a heart transplant but his kidneys stop working and his liver was going bad too. I wish I had my dad back but now I can tell you all to take care of yourself.

Just found out my mom may have congestive heart failure. It's nice to have a good, simple explanation of exactly what is going on.

I survived congestive heart failure late last year. I was hospitalized for 19 days and had to stay with family for 4 months afterwards. I also had large blood clots in my lungs. I've been doing as much walking as I can, it's the one thing that saved my life.

[fulmike]

Thank you! this is the best presentation so far I've ever seen.

[chaanane]

Heart failure (HF) often called congestive heart failure (CHF) is generally defined as the inability of the heart to supply sufficient blood flow to meet the needs of the body.[1][2][3] Heart failure can cause a number of symptoms including shortness of breath, leg swelling, and exercise intolerance. The condition is diagnosed with echocardiography and blood tests.

love animation videos!! They are amazing at explaining how things function

[JSdodgem]

I thought that was the aortic valve too. Look at it really close, It's the mitral (bicuspid) valve. It's open during ventricular diastole in order for the left ventricle to receive blood from the left atrium.

[NSPIREDCAREGIVERBOOK]

Heart Failure (assuming we live through it) will make family members instant caregivers and caregivers need all they can get. We must take care of ourselves on a daily basis: claim our exercise, rest, nutrition, and support system in order to be at our best.

I love these vids but sometimes they are scary

[courtneymedic]

Is it just me or does the aortic valve open at the wrong time? It seems to be open during diastole, wouldn't there be a regurgitation?

@tingmarco1 There are a lot of causes for CCF. Not necessarily Afib, usually after an AMI (heart attack), although Afib does carry an increased risk of blood clots and therefore strokes.

[Tsamsiyu]

This is the main reason I take the stairs....and try to walk more

[thaimedicalvacation]

CHF is one of many disease processes can impair the pumping efficiency of the heart. Rather than diagnosing something based on a Youtube video please go see your primary care physician or cardiologist.

[Skities]
