Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle doesn’t pump blood as well as it should. When this happens, blood often backs up and fluid can build up in the lungs, causing shortness of breath. Certain heart conditions gradually leave the heart too weak or stiff to fill and pump blood properly.
Detailed explanation-2: -Insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle can lead to symptoms of chest pain (angina). If the coronary artery becomes completely blocked, it will cause a heart attack. During a heart attack, some of the heart muscle can die from a lack of oxygen.
