What is CHF?
Also called heart failure, CHF is the condition in which the heart muscle becomes weakened and lacks the strength to adequately pump blood throughout the body. As a result of this poor circulation, blood and fluid begin collecting in organ tissue. The term "heart failure" should not be confused with cardiac arrest, a situation in which the heart actually stops beating.
