Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive or chronic heart failure is when the heart is unable to pump enough oxygenated blood to the body. As people begin to age, the heart’s ability to pump blood may be weakened or damaged. This can cause a heart attack, a decrease flow of blood to the heart muscle resulting in coronary artery disease, or a disease of the heart muscle called cardiomyopathy. The ventricles in the heart pump blood. When a ventricle fails it can result in blood building up in the heart, causing the ventricles to enlarge.
