Heart failure is a long-term condition in which the heart muscle can’t pump enough oxygen-rich blood to meet your body’s needs.
Signs and symptoms of heart failure can include:
Swelling of the feet, ankles and legs
Shortness of breath
Weight gain
Feeling overly tired
Heart failure is a progressive condition, which means the heart gets weaker over time. It’s often called a “silent progression” because you may not notice the signs of worsening disease. The classes of heart failure are:
No symptoms or limitations to physical activity.
Slight limitations of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity results in feeling tired and having shortness of breath.
Significant limitations such as shortness of breath and exhaustion from walking in even mild physical activity. Comfortable only at rest.
