📋Overview

Heart failure is a chronic clinical syndrome characterized by the heart's inability to pump sufficient blood to meet the body's needs. It is a modern term encompassing conditions previously described by legacy terms such as congestive heart failure. Heart failure can result from structural or functional cardiac disorders impairing ventricular filling or ejection of blood.
