    Congestive Heart Failure happens when, the right ventricle has trouble pumping blood to the lungs. The blood goes back into the blood vessels, and causes fluid retention in the abdomen, extremities, and other vital organs. This can also happen to the left side of the heart as it is happening to the right (Macon, 2016). Fluid buildup is called congestion, that is why it's called Congestive Heart Failure. This happens when the heart and body can no longer keep up, and the kidneys respond by causing the body to hold in water and salt.…

CHF is used interchangeably with Heart failure (HF). HF is characterized by myocardial dysfunction, which is an alteration in ventricular contraction. Myocardial dysfunction can be caused by a result of many different conditions such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, valvular disorders, renal dysfunction, ischemia and myocardial infarction. It can be systolic heart failure in which the heart muscles are weakened and results in decreased blood ejected from the ventricle,…
