Please, can somebody explain to me What is chronic heart failure? Recently I watched on TV some program about heart disease and heard that chronic heart failure can be very dangerous. Today I heard that one of my good friends has this illness. What are the most usual treatment for it. Thanks!

Heart failure means your heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs. It develops slowly, over time. It's usually a chronic, long-term condition. Usually it treats with medications which can improve the signs and symptoms of chronic heart failure and lead to improved survival. Your best defense against heart failure is to prevent or control risk factors.
