It’s scary to think your heart might slow down. But for the 5.7 million Americans over age 65 affected by congestive heart failure each year, that’s exactly what happens. The term “congestive heart failure” simply means the heart isn’t pumping as well as it should. A strong heart pumps blood full of oxygen and nutrients to the cells in the body. If your heart becomes weakened, it falls short of supplying the vital blood to your entire body, leaving you feeling tired and short of breath.
Identifying and treating the condition early can minimize the impact on your life and help you feel more like yourself again.
