Congestive Heart Failure
The United States has about 550,000 new cases related to Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) each year, and about 1 in every 5 people die within the year. People at an age of 40 years and over have a higher risk to develop CHF. People with conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease are significantly at risk for heart failure. CHF is when the heart is unable to pump blood at a normal rate, which affects the heart to deliver enough blood, oxygen, and nutrients to support the needs of the body. The common symptoms are shortness of breath and having trouble breathing.
