    Extractions: Heart Failure What is heart failure? Despite the way it sounds, the term "heart failure" simply means that your heart isn't pumping blood as well as it should. Heart failure doesn't mean your heart has stopped working or that you are having a heart attack. Heart failure is also called congestive heart failure, or CHF. "Congestive" means fluid is building up in the body because the heart isn't pumping properly. What causes heart failure? Heart failure has many different causes. Sometimes the exact cause can't be found. The most common causes of heart failure are listed below: What are the symptoms of heart failure?

31. Don't Lose Heart
    Mom always threatened dire consequences if you flunked out of high school. But death? Maybe, according a study by the American Medical Association. Researchers found an increased risk of congestive heart failure in people who, for one reason or another, failed to complete high school. While the education level itself was not seen as a factor, the poor socioeconomic conditions often associated with a substandard education are. High blood pressure, excessive weight, smoking, and physical inactivity are all contributors to congestive heart failure, the study said, and all are associated with people on the lower rungs of the education ladder.

    http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/press/2003/February/030211A.htm
    
    Extractions: Using specialized pacemakers to recharge the weakened hearts of heart failure patients can halve the death rate from the disease and reduce hospitalizations by nearly a third, a Johns Hopkins study has found. Results of the study, which analyzed clinical trials of pacemaker therapy for heart failure involving a total of 1,634 patients, are published in the Feb. 12 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association. "The devices range in cost from $20,000 to $50,000," says lead author David J. Bradley, M.D., Ph.D., a cardiology fellow. "These specialized pacemakers have been known to improve the quality of life for heart failure patients, but whether they also save lives had been unclear." Heart failure accounts for more than 700,000 hospitalizations among Medicare beneficiaries every year, Bradley says. In the year 2000, hospitalization charges amounted to $14 billion. Half of deaths among these patients are caused by progressive cardiac dysfunction, which pacemakers help correct by stimulating the heart muscle to contract, pumping blood to the body. Heart failure, which affects nearly 5 million people in the United States, is a condition in which the heart can't pump enough blood to the body's other organs. This can result from assorted problems including heart attack, high blood pressure or heart valve disease. The "failing" heart keeps working but not as efficiently as it should. People with heart failure can't exert themselves because they become short of breath and tired.

39. Coreg - Raising Heart Failure Awareness
    Official pharmaceutial website includes a description of carvedilol, a medicine used in the treatment of mild and moderate heart failure. Includes information for patients and families about heart failure diagnosis, treatment, healthy food choices, lifestyle and prescribing information.  
    http://coreg.com
    
    Extractions: Coreg , also known as carvedilol, belongs to a class of medicines known as beta-blockers. Coreg has been proven to help patients with hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure. Your doctor wants to put you on Coreg for hypertension because it effectively lowers blood pressure. For heart failure, your doctor wants to put you on Coreg because it reduces the amount of work for the heart and helps the heart to pump enough blood through the body. Your doctor also recommended Coreg because it is proven to increase survival and decrease hospital stays in heart failure patients.

    http://www.cardiologychannel.com/chf/
    
    Extractions: Overview Congestive heart failure, or heart failure, is a term used to describe any condition in which the heart is unable to adequately pump blood throughout the body and/or unable to prevent blood from "backing up" into the lungs. These conditions cause symptoms such as shortness of breath (dyspnea), fatigue, weakness, and swelling (edema) of the legs and sometimes the abdomen. Normal Blood Flow of the Heart The heart has a right side and a left side. Each side has a chamber that receives blood returning to the heart (atrium) and a muscular chamber that is responsible for pumping blood out of the heart (ventricle). Atria are relatively thin-walled chambers, whereas the ventricles are much more muscular. Blood passes from the atria into the ventricles through two processes. During the "resting phase," when the ventricles are not contracting, the tricuspid and mitral valves open. Some of the blood that has accumulated in the atria passively flows through the tricuspid and mitral valves into the right and left ventricles, respectively. The atria then contract, actively pumping blood out and into the ventricles. Once the ventricles fill with blood, they contract, pumping blood out of the ventricles and to the lungs and body.
