What is Heart Failure? Heart failure is a chronic condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively to meet the body's needs. Despite its name, heart failure doesn't mean the heart has completely stopped working. Instead, it means the heart isn't pumping blood as efficiently as it should. Your heart is a muscular organ responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. It has four chambers: two upper chambers called atria and two lower chambers called ventricles. In a healthy heart, the right side of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs for oxygenation. The left side of the heart then receives the oxygenrich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the rest of the body. This process happens continuously, with the average heart beating about 100,000 times a day. In heart failure, this efficient pumping action is compromised. The heart may be weakened and unable to pump blood forcefully enough, which is called systolic heart failure, or it may be stiff and unable to fill properly between beats, which is called diastolic heart failure.
