Introduction:
Congestive heart failure is a chronic progressive medical condition in which the pumping capacity of the heart muscles weakens and the muscles are not able to pump blood efficiently to the body parts. Because of this inefficiency of the heart, the body fluid start to build up in different organs and lower body parts. The symptoms of this condition involve swelling in the feet, shortness of breath, and fatigue. It is caused by various factors such as excessive alcohol drinking, high blood pressure, and coronary artery disease.
