Heart failure care management at Martin’s Point.

What is heart failure?

Heart failure is a condition in which muscle in the heart wall slowly weakens and enlarges, preventing the heart from pumping enough blood. The heart keeps working, but the body’s needs for blood and oxygen aren’t being met.

Common symptoms include:

• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue
• Coughing or wheezing, especially during exercise
• Swelling in feet and legs
• Weight gain from fluid buildup
