Although heart failure doesn&#8217;t mean that your heart has stopped working, it can be a serious condition that can worsen and lead to disability, if not managed effectively.<\/p>\n<h3>Heart failure is not a heart attack<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;While some of the symptoms of heart failure may be similar to those of a heart attack, they are not the same,&#8221; says <a href=\"https:\/\/cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/ketan-gala\">Ketan Gala, MD, FACC<\/a>, Medical Director of the Advanced Heart Failure program at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a> and member provider of Cooper and Inspira Cardiac Care.<\/p>\n<p>Heart attacks occur when the heart&#8217;s blood supply is blocked, usually by a build-up of plaque in the arteries, which causes damage to the heart muscle. In some cases, the muscle may be incapacitated permanently.<\/p>\n<p>Heart failure does not necessarily mean that the heart muscle is damaged, but it does mean that the heart cannot pump blood efficiently. As blood flow slows, pressure in the heart increases, preventing it from pumping sufficient oxygen and nutrients to meet the body&#8217;s needs. The heart&#8217;s chambers may expand to hold more blood (to pump through the body) or become thick and stiff. These responses can help keep blood flowing short-term, but can weaken the heart over time.<\/p>\n<h3>Who develops heart failure?<\/h3>\n<p>According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 6.2 million adults in the United States have a diagnosis of heart failure. There are many causes, including heart attacks, viral infections, valve problems, unhealthy lifestyles, and other diseases or conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anyone can develop heart failure, but it is more common in people with certain risk factors, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, or a family history of heart failure,&#8221; Dr. Gala says. &#8220;People over the age of 65 are also at greater risk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These factors, combined with unhealthy behaviors such as eating a diet high in fat, excessive alcohol intake, smoking tobacco, and lack of exercise, can increase an individual&#8217;s chance of a heart failure diagnosis.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the symptoms of heart failure?<\/h3>\n<p>The most common symptom of heart failure is shortness of breath, but other symptoms can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fatigue and weakness<\/li>\n<li>Rapid or irregular heartbeat<\/li>\n<li>Swelling in the ankles, legs, or abdomen<\/li>\n<li>Inability to perform normal activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, or carrying groceries<\/li>\n<li>Shortness of breath when lying down or with normal activity<\/li>\n<li>Persistent cough or wheezing<\/li>\n<li>Rapid weight gain from fluid retention<\/li>\n<li>Nausea and lack of appetite<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Living with heart failure<\/h3>\n<p>Heart failure can be a chronic condition that requires lifelong treatment. It \u00a0may also be acute, meaning that heart failure comes on suddenly and requires immediate medical attention. Surgery is sometimes necessary to repair or replace damaged heart valves. Some patients require an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD), which keeps track of their heart rhythm and sends a small shock if the heart falls out of rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>While there is no cure for heart failure, there are treatments that can improve symptoms and help patients live longer, healthier lives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We prescribe medications to help improve heart function and reduce fluid retention,&#8221; Dr. Gala says. &#8220;Many patients are also put on blood thinners \u2014 at least temporarily.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Health care providers often recommend the following actions to help manage symptoms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Get regular exercise to improve your heart function and reduce fluid retention<\/li>\n<li>Eat a healthy diet and limit salt intake<\/li>\n<li>Avoid smoking<\/li>\n<li>Manage stress, which can make symptoms worse<\/li>\n<li>See your doctor regularly to identify problems early and prevent symptoms from getting worse<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Heart failure can be a serious diagnosis, but effective management can prevent the condition from worsening,&#8221; says Dr. Gala. &#8220;With proper treatment and monitoring, patients can live full and active lifestyles with a heart failure diagnosis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the Cooper and Inspira Cardiac Care Heart Failure program, <a href=\"https:\/\/cooperandinspira.org\/heart-health\/heart-failure\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you or someone you know has symptoms of heart failure, make an appointment with one of the cardiac specialists at Cooper and Inspira Cardiac Care.

Si bien la insuficiencia card\u00edaca no significa que su coraz\u00f3n haya dejado de funcionar, puede ser una afecci\u00f3n grave que puede conducir a una discapacidad y empeorar si no se maneja de manera efectiva.<\/p>\n<p><strong>La insuficiencia card\u00edaca no es un ataque al coraz\u00f3n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Si bien algunos de los s\u00edntomas de la insuficiencia card\u00edaca pueden ser similares a los de un ataque card\u00edaco, no son lo mismo&#8221;, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/ketan-gala\">Ketan Gala, MD, FACC<\/a>, director m\u00e9dico del programa de insuficiencia card\u00edaca avanzada en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a> y miembro proveedor de Cooper e Inspira Cardiac Care.<\/p>\n<p>Los ataques card\u00edacos ocurren cuando se bloquea el suministro de sangre al coraz\u00f3n, generalmente por una acumulaci\u00f3n de placa en las arterias, lo que causa da\u00f1o al m\u00fasculo card\u00edaco. En algunos casos, el m\u00fasculo puede quedar incapacitado permanentemente.<\/p>\n<p>La insuficiencia card\u00edaca no significa necesariamente que el m\u00fasculo card\u00edaco est\u00e9 da\u00f1ado, pero s\u00ed significa que el coraz\u00f3n no puede bombear sangre de manera eficiente. A medida que se ralentiza el flujo de sangre, aumenta la presi\u00f3n en el coraz\u00f3n, lo que impide que bombee suficiente ox\u00edgeno y nutrientes para satisfacer las necesidades del cuerpo. Las cavidades del coraz\u00f3n pueden expandirse para contener m\u00e1s sangre (para bombear a trav\u00e9s del cuerpo) o volverse gruesas y r\u00edgidas. Estas respuestas pueden ayudar a mantener el flujo de sangre a corto plazo, pero pueden debilitar el coraz\u00f3n con el tiempo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfQui\u00e9n desarrolla insuficiencia card\u00edaca?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Seg\u00fan los Centros para el Control de Enfermedades, aproximadamente 6,2 millones de adultos en los Estados Unidos tienen un diagn\u00f3stico de insuficiencia card\u00edaca.

A veces es necesaria la cirug\u00eda para reparar o reemplazar las v\u00e1lvulas card\u00edacas da\u00f1adas. Algunos pacientes requieren un desfibrilador card\u00edaco implantable (ICD), que realiza un seguimiento de su ritmo card\u00edaco y env\u00eda una peque\u00f1a descarga si el coraz\u00f3n pierde el ritmo.<\/p>\n<p>Si bien no existe una cura para la afecci\u00f3n, existen tratamientos que pueden mejorar los s\u00edntomas y ayudar a los pacientes a vivir una vida m\u00e1s larga y saludable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Recetamos medicamentos para ayudar a mejorar la funci\u00f3n card\u00edaca y reducir la retenci\u00f3n de l\u00edquidos&#8221;, dice el Dr. Gala. &#8220;Muchos pacientes tambi\u00e9n reciben anticoagulantes, al menos temporalmente&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Los proveedores de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica a menudo recomiendan las siguientes acciones para ayudar a controlar los s\u00edntomas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Haga ejercicio regularmente para mejorar su funci\u00f3n card\u00edaca y reducir la retenci\u00f3n de l\u00edquidos.<\/li>\n<li>Coma una dieta saludable y limite la ingesta de sal.<\/li>\n<li>Evita fumar<\/li>\n<li>Manejar el estr\u00e9s, que puede empeorar los s\u00edntomas.<\/li>\n<li>Visite a su m\u00e9dico regularmente para identificar problemas temprano y evitar que los s\u00edntomas empeoren<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;La insuficiencia card\u00edaca puede ser un diagn\u00f3stico grave, pero el manejo proactivo puede evitar que la condici\u00f3n empeore&#8221;, dice el Dr. Gala. &#8220;Con el tratamiento y la supervisi\u00f3n adecuados, los pacientes pueden llevar un estilo de vida pleno y activo con un diagn\u00f3stico de insuficiencia card\u00edaca&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Para obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre el programa de insuficiencia card\u00edaca de Cooper and Inspira Cardiac Care, <a href=\"https:\/\/cooperandinspira.org\/heart-health\/heart-failure\/\">haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Si usted o alguien que conoce tiene s\u00edntomas de insuficiencia card\u00edaca, programe una cita con uno de los especialistas card\u00edacos de Cooper and Inspira Cardiac Care.
