What is Heart Failure?
It is the inability of the heart to provide a good blood supply to the tissues and organs of the body. It does not mean that your heart has stopped working or that you are having a heart attack. The term might sound frightening so maybe think of it as: ‘My heart is not functioning as well as it should and requires treatment to support how it works’.
