  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-failure/symptoms-causes/syc-20373142

  Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle doesn’t pump blood as well as it should. When this happens, blood often backs up and fluid can build up in the lungs, causing shortness of breath. […] Symptoms may develop slowly. Sometimes, heart failure symptoms start suddenly. Heart failure symptoms may include: Shortness of breath with activity or when lying down. Fatigue and weakness. Swelling in the legs, ankles and feet. Rapid or irregular heartbeat. Reduced ability to exercise. Wheezing. A cough that doesn’t go away or a cough that brings up white or pink mucus with spots of blood. Swelling of the belly area. Very rapid weight gain from fluid buildup. Nausea and lack of appetite. Difficulty concentrating or decreased alertness. Chest pain if heart failure is caused by a heart attack. […] Call your healthcare professional right away if you have heart failure and: Your symptoms suddenly get worse. You develop a new symptom. You gain 5 pounds (2.3 kilograms) or more within a few days. Such changes could mean that existing heart failure is getting worse or that treatment isn’t working.

  https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/5-warning-signs-of-early-heart-failure

  The earliest symptoms of heart failure are often very subtle, but it’s dangerous to ignore them. […] Fatigue and breathlessness may also be signals that your heart is not functioning as well as it should. […] There is a general tendency for people to ignore heart failure symptoms and attribute them to just getting older. […] When the heart can’t pump enough oxygen-rich blood to meet the body’s energy needs, a general feeling of tiredness or fatigue sets in. […] People with heart failure are often unable to do their normal activities because they become easily tired and short of breath. […] Fluid buildup in the lungs can result in coughing, wheezing, and breathing difficulty. […] When the heart doesn’t have enough pumping power to force used blood back up from the lower extremities, fluid can collect in the ankles, legs, thighs, and abdomen. […] Fluid in the lungs makes it more difficult for carbon dioxide in used blood to be exchanged for fresh oxygen. […] By themselves, these five warning signs do not confirm a diagnosis of heart failure, but they do convey a sense of urgency to seek medical advice.

  https://www.tuftsmedicine.org/about-us/news/what-you-need-know-about-congestive-heart-failure

  Chest pain is an early symptom of CHF. […] CHF can cause fluid to build up in your feet, ankles, arms and legs. Retaining too much fluid will cause swelling or edema and can indicate worsening heart failure. […] Fluid accumulating in the lungs can cause chronic coughing or wheezing. The dry, hacking cough may worsen at night or when lying down. […] Rapid weight gain can be a sign of fluid retention and worsening heart failure. Be on the lookout for sudden changes in your weight or unexplained weight gain. […] CHF can cause a loss of appetite and nausea. It can also cause fluid to back up in your stomach, making you feel bloated or full even after eating a small meal. […] During the day, your heart has difficulty moving blood through your body, including your kidneys, which produce urine. At night, when you’re lying down, your kidneys can easily filter water from your blood. Peeing too much at night, or “nocturia,” can disrupt your sleep quality, making you tired during the day.

  There are four stages of congestive heart failure. These are stages A, B, C, and D. A persons chance of surviving decreases when the condition progresses to the next stage. […] Congestive heart failure may happen when the heart muscle is too weak or when another health issue prevents it from circulating blood efficiently. Over time, systolic congestive heart failure, or heart failure (HF), can lead to dysfunction of other organs due to inefficient pumping. […] A person usually has no symptoms of HF at this stage but may experience symptoms of their chronic conditions. […] Most people at stage B still do not show symptoms of HF. […] People at this stage will show symptoms of HF linked to underlying structural heart disease, including fatigue or breathlessness. These symptoms usually occur due to problems with the squeezing function of the left ventricle or the pumping chamber of the heart.

[…] One of the hallmark end-of-life heart failure symptoms, dyspnea involves persistent shortness of breath that can occur even at rest. […] In end-stage CHF, many patients develop a chronic cough as fluid accumulates in the lungs due to the heart’s decreased pumping capacity. […] With weakened heart function, fluid buildup or edema may become more pronounced in the legs, feet, ankles, abdomen, or neck veins. […] Severe fatigue is a typical end-of-life symptom of congestive heart failure. […] Loss of appetite is common in the final stages of CHF. […] As the heart struggles to pump blood, it often compensates by beating faster. […] In end-stage CHF, imbalances in blood oxygen and sodium levels can lead to confusion, memory loss, and disorientation. […] Psychological symptoms such as depression and anxiety are common in CHF’s end stages, due to the emotional and physical toll of the disease. […] Pain is often under-treated in end-stage CHF but is a common experience. […] Insomnia or disturbed sleep is another common symptom, as the body’s systems adjust to declining heart function.

• #1 Heart Failure: Practice Essentials, Background, Pathophysiology

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/163062-overview

  The reduction of cardiac output following myocardial injury sets into motion a cascade of hemodynamic and neurohormonal derangements that provoke activation of neuroendocrine systems. […] The increase in myocardial energy expenditure leads to myocardial cell death/apoptosis, which results in heart failure and further reduction in cardiac output, perpetuating a cycle of further increased neurohumoral stimulation and further adverse hemodynamic and myocardial responses. […] In diastolic heart failure (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [HFpEF]), the same pathophysiologic processes occur that lead to decreased cardiac output in systolic heart failure, but they do so in response to a different set of hemodynamic and circulatory environmental factors that depress cardiac output. […] The prevalence of heart failure increases with age. […] In general, the mortality following hospitalization for patients with heart failure is 10.4% at 30 days, 22% at 1 year, and 42.3% at 5 years, despite marked improvement in medical and device therapy.

[…] Common symptoms of HF include shortness of breath, fatigue, fluid retention, and edema. […] HF is classified based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and clinical staging. […] The New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification stratifies and defines the functional capacity and severity of HF symptoms. […] For stage C and stage D HF patients, the following NYHA classification of HF symptoms should be used: Class I: Symptom onset with more than ordinary level of activity; Class II: Symptom onset with an ordinary level of activity; Class III: Symptom onset with minimal activity; Class IV: Symptoms at rest.

  Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs. End stage heart failure is the most severe form of heart failure. […] In end stage heart failure, the body can no longer compensate for the lack of blood the heart pumps, and the heart has limited functional recovery. A person may find it difficult to breathe even when they are resting. […] If a person has class IV heart failure, it means they: cannot do much physical activity without experiencing discomfort, have symptoms of heart failure even when resting, experience increasing discomfort with any amount of physical activity. […] Other signs and symptoms of end stage heart failure include frequent ventricular arrhythmias, worsening hypotension (low blood pressure) due to intolerance to beta-blockers, weakness and wasting of the heart muscle, deteriorating liver and kidney function, and repeated hospitalizations.

  Carlos Mercado was settling in for a night of television in 2022 when his heart suddenly began racing, pain gripped his chest and he broke into a cold sweat—symptoms that were all too familiar from a dozen years earlier when a bout of chest pain at the gym landed him in the emergency room (ER). […] Another trip to the ER revealed that he’d had a mild heart attack. What’s more, the coronary artery disease he’d been diagnosed with years earlier had now progressed to full-blown congestive heart failure, a condition in which the heart muscle is no longer strong enough to pump sufficient blood and oxygen throughout the body. In other words, no longer capable of doing its job. […] Heart failure often progresses in four stages, starting with an elevated risk for the condition (Stage A), due to comorbidities like diabetes or a family history. Stage B—known as pre-heart failure—occurs when changes can be seen in the structure or workings of the heart, though no symptoms are present. Symptoms such as fatigue, rapid heartbeat, coughing, swelling, a change in weight and shortness of breath start to occur during Stage C. These symptoms may progress and interfere with the ability to live a normal life without treatment, which is known as advanced heart failure or Stage D.
