Heart failure: Managing A chronic illness in the community Instructor: Nicole Filippazzo Heart failure: Managing A chronic illness in the community

What is Heart Failure? According to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute: Heart failure is a condition in which the heart can’t pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs. In some cases, the heart can’t fill with enough blood. In other cases, the heart can’t pump blood to the rest of the body with enough force. Some people have both problems. The term "heart failure" doesn’t mean that your heart has stopped or is about to stop working. However, heart failure is a serious condition that requires medical care.
