Subtitle: Causes of Heart Failure

Heart failure is a serious medical condition that occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, including shortness of breath, fatigue, and swollen feet or ankles. There are several potential causes of heart failure, including the following:

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Coronary artery disease is a narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. When left untreated, this can lead to a decrease in the heart's ability to pump blood.

High Blood Pressure: High blood pressure can cause the heart to work harder than it should, leading to heart failure.

Valvular Heart Disease: Valvular heart disease occurs when a valve in the heart does not open or close properly, leading to an accumulation of blood in the heart. This can cause the heart to become overworked and eventually fail.

Cardiomyopathy: Cardiomyopathy is an abnormal enlargement of the heart muscle, which can interfere with the heart's ability to pump blood. This can lead to heart failure.
