    Congestive heart failure is when? - ProProfs

    Congestive heart failure is when?

    • Your heart has trouble pumping the right amount of blood through the body

    • A blockage occurs and slows blood flow to your brain

    • Your body does not have enough red blood cells

    • You no longer enjoy the things that used to give you pleasure

    Correct Answer
    A. Your heart has trouble pumping the right amount of blood through the body
    Explanation
    Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump an adequate amount of blood throughout the body. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid retention. It is a condition that can develop due to various factors, including damage to the heart muscle, high blood pressure, or previous heart attacks. The decreased pumping ability of the heart results in a buildup of fluid in the lungs and other parts of the body, causing symptoms and potentially leading to complications if left untreated.

    What can be done to help manage congestive heart failure?(select all that apply)

    • Keep a healthy weight

    • Stop smoking

    • Begin training for a marathon

    • Limit salt and fat in your diet

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Keep a healthy weight
    A. Stop smoking
    A. Limit salt and fat in your diet
    Explanation
    To help manage congestive heart failure, it is important to keep a healthy weight, as excessive weight can put strain on the heart. Smoking should be stopped as it damages the blood vessels and worsens heart conditions. Limiting salt and fat in the diet is also crucial, as excessive intake can lead to fluid retention and increased blood pressure, both of which can worsen heart failure. However, beginning training for a marathon may not be suitable for individuals with congestive heart failure, as it can put excessive strain on the heart and worsen the condition.

    What is not a symptom of congestive heart failure?

    • Shortness of breath

    • Gaining weight and you don't know why

    • Swelling of feet, ankles, legs, or belly

    • Headache

    Correct Answer
    A. Headache
    Explanation
    Congestive heart failure is a condition where the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, gaining weight without a known cause, and swelling of the feet, ankles, legs, or belly. However, headache is not typically associated with congestive heart failure. Headaches can be caused by various factors such as stress, tension, or migraines, but they are not directly related to the heart's inability to pump blood effectively.
