Heart failure is a chronic condition caused by the heart not functioning as it should or a problem with its structure. This can lead to fatigue, swelling in the legs and abdomen and shortness of breath which can be from fluid in the lungs. #HeartMonth

“We now have a better understanding of what causes #heartdisease and how best to treat it. Advances in science, research and tech have given us better tools to care for patients with certain heart conditions, resulting in improved survival.” - @DktrV #beatheartdisease #heartmonth
Heart failure is complex and incurable, but there is hope. We are working on an action plan to tackle heart failure at every level: advancing research, creating new treatments, and enhancing and improving access to care and medications.
