Answer preview

Heart failure develops when the heart muscles cannot pump adequate blood to all body parts. Heart failure is caused by several factors, which include high blood pressure and coronary artery disease. These conditions make the heart weak or still to pump and fill with blood efficiently. Some of these conditions cannot be reversed at times, but treatments can improve the symptoms and signs of heart failure. Some common symptoms include body weakness and fatigue, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, wheezing, chest pain, increased urination, and rapid weight gain. Adults above thirty-five years old are more prone to heart failure than younger youths and children.
