Heart failure: Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood as effectively as it should. Conditions such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, congenital heart defect, diabetes, overactive/underactive thyroid, or high blood pressure make the heart too weak to pump blood efficiently. Symptoms of heart failure include shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, swollen legs, and fatigue. People with disease conditions such as diabetes, thyroid problems, anaemia, emphysema, and behavioural conditions like smoking and being overweight are at an increased risk of developing heart failure.
