What are the complications of CCF?

What are the potential complications of congestive cardiac failure?

  • Arrhythmia (irregular heart rate)
  • Heart valve problems.
  • Kidney damage or failure.
  • Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
  • Stroke.

What are the symptoms of a weak heart?

Heart problems: Among the heart conditions that can lead to low blood pressure are an abnormally low heart rate (bradycardia), problems with heart valves, heart attack and heart failure.

Can you have good blood pressure and still have clogged arteries?

Although high blood pressure is common, it’s not harmless. High blood pressure is a major cause of atherosclerosis, the artery-clogging process that leads to heart attacks and strokes. Blood pressure higher than 130/80 is seen in: 69% of people who have their first heart attack.

Is CCF and heart failure the same?

Heart failure, sometimes called congestive cardiac failure (CCF), is a condition in which the heart muscle is weakened and can’t pump as well as it usually does.

Is dilated cardiomyopathy the same as heart failure?

Dilated cardiomyopathy causes the chambers of the heart to grow larger. Untreated, dilated cardiomyopathy can lead to heart failure. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a type of heart muscle disease that causes the heart chambers (ventricles) to thin and stretch, growing larger.
