Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently to meet the body's needs. While it does not mean the heart has stopped working, it requires timely diagnosis and expert treatment to prevent complications and improve quality of life.
Early intervention can help patients lead active and healthier lives.
