Heart failure, sometimes known as congestive heart failure, occurs when your heart muscle doesn't pump blood as well as it should. Certain conditions, such as narrowed arteries in your heart (coronary artery disease) or high blood pressure, gradually leave your heart too weak or stiff to fill and pump efficiently.

Not all conditions that lead to heart failure can be reversed, but homeopathic medicine treatments can improve the signs and symptoms of heart failure and help you live longer. Lifestyle changes — such as exercising, reducing salt in your diet, managing stress, and losing weight — can improve your quality of life. Even some homeopathic medicine helpful in heart disease & disorders.

One way to prevent heart failure is to control conditions using homeopathic medications to treat causes of heart failures, such as coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or obesity. Heart failure often develops after other conditions have damaged or weakened your heart. However, the heart doesn't need to be weakened to cause heart failure. It can also occur if the heart becomes too stiff.

  • In heart failure, the main pumping chambers of your heart (the ventricles) may become stiff and not fill properly between beats. In some cases of heart failure, your heart muscle may become damaged and weakened, and the ventricles stretch (dilate) to the point that the heart can't pump blood efficiently throughout your body. Over time, the heart can no longer keep up with the normal demands placed on it to pump blood to the rest of your body
  • An ejection fraction is an important measurement of how well your heart is pumping and is used to help classify heart failure and guide treatment. In a healthy heart, the ejection fraction is 50 percent or higher — meaning that more than half of the blood that fills the ventricle is pumped out with each beat. But heart failure can occur even with a normal ejection fraction. This happens if the heart muscle becomes stiff from conditions such as high blood pressure.
  • The term' congestive heart failure' comes from blood backing up into — or congesting — the liver, abdomen, lower extremities, and lungs. However, not all heart failure is congestive. You might have shortness of breath or weakness due to heart failure and not have any fluid building up.
  • Heart failure can involve the left side (left ventricle), right side (right ventricle), or both sides of your heart. Generally, heart failure begins with the left side, specifically the left ventricle — your heart's main pumping chamber.

TYPES OF HEART FAILURES

  • Left-sided heart failure: Fluid may back up in your lungs, causing shortness of breath.
  • Right-sided heart failure: Fluid may back up into your abdomen, legs, and feet, causing swelling
  • Systolic heart failure: The left ventricle can't contract vigorously, indicating a pumping problem.
  • Diastolic heart failure: The left ventricle can't relax or fill fully, indicating a filling problem.

To avoid heart disorders and diseases, people are moving towards homeopathic remedies for congestive heart failure. Some homeopathic medicine such as Aurum metallicum 30, Digitalis purpurea 3x, Laurocerasus, Cardus marianus, Naja tripudian, and more.
