Congestive Heart Failure CHF at Central & Northeastern PA Williamsport
Congestive heart failure (CHF) occurs when the heart is unable to deliver enough oxygen-rich blood to meet the body's requirements. Several diseases can cause CHF, including those that weaken the heart, cause stiffening of the heart, and increase the amount of oxygen needed in the body. Symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing, and not getting a fulfilling breath. This may feel like an asthma attack and make it difficult to exercise. CHF can be treated with medication, lifestyle changes, or procedures like angioplasty or the insertion of a pacemaker.
