Heart Failure
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart cannot pump blood with the efficiency needed to meet the body's demands. It is usually a chronic condition that requires follow-up.
Frequent symptoms:
- Shortness of breath with exertion or when lying down
- Swelling in the legs, ankles, or abdomen
- Fatigue and reduced tolerance to activity
Common causes: It may result from hypertension, coronary artery disease, valve problems, or other cardiac conditions.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the go-to doctor, with support from the internist in comprehensive management. If you notice symptoms like these, a cardiology evaluation allows the case to be studied and appropriate support to be provided.
