What is Congestive heart failure (CHF) Symptoms, causes and treatments

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a serious condition where the heart cannot pump blood efficiently, leading to symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid retention. Understanding CHF and managing it effectively with Fairlawn home care can significantly improve the quality of life for patients.

How to arrange care

Congestive heart failure, sometimes called CHF, occurs when the heart's ability to pump blood is compromised, causing blood to back up in the veins and leading to congestion in the body's tissues. This often results in swelling (edema) in the legs and ankles and can cause fluid buildup in the lungs (pulmonary edema), leading to shortness of breath, especially when lying down.

 

If left untreated, pulmonary edema can lead to severe respiratory distress.

 

Additionally, CHF affects the kidneys' ability to dispose of sodium and water, increasing blood volume and further exacerbating swelling.

Congestive heart failure (CHF) occurs when the heart cannot pump blood efficiently, leading to symptoms like swelling, shortness of breath, and fluid retention. There are different types of CHF, including left-sided, right-sided, and congestive heart failure.

 

Understanding these types and managing them with comprehensive home care can significantly improve the quality of life for patients.

Congestive heart failure refers to the stage where fluid builds up around the heart and affects its ability to pump efficiently. This fluid retention can cause swelling in the legs, ankles, and sometimes in other parts of the body. It can also lead to pulmonary edema, where fluid collects in the lungs, causing breathing difficulties.

Left-sided heart failure is the most common type of heart failure. This when the left ventricle is unable to pump blood effectively. It can be further classified into: Systolic Failure (HFrEF), Diastolic Failure (HFpEF), or Mid-Range EF (HFmrEF).

Right-sided or right ventricular heart failure typically results from left-sided failure. The right ventricle fails, causing blood to back up in the veins, leading to swelling in the legs and ankles.

The symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) can vary widely depending on the type of MS and the individual.

 

Common symptoms include:

​

  • Fatigue

  • Numbness or tingling in the limbs or face

  • Weakness or stiffness in muscles

  • Problems with coordination and balance

  • Blurred or double vision

  • Problems with memory and concentration

  • Difficulty walking

  • Bowel and bladder dysfunction

  • Emotional changes, such as depression or mood swings

  • Pain, often including nerve pain

Hourly or live in care for CHF patients 

Choosing between hourly or live-in care for CHF patients depends on the level of support needed and the patient's specific circumstances. Here’s a detailed look at both options:

​

Fairlawn Hourly CHF care

Hourly care offers the flexibility to receive care only when it’s needed. This can be particularly useful during specific times of the day such as morning routines, meal times, or bedtime.

Caregivers can assist with specific tasks tailored to the patient's needs, such as medication reminders, daily health checks, and personal hygiene.

This option is ideal for patients who require intermittent assistance rather than continuous support. It allows for efficient use of resources, as caregivers are only present during scheduled hours.

Situations Best Suited for Hourly CHF Care:

Patients who need help with specific daily tasks, individuals who have family members or friends available for support but need professional assistance at certain times or patients with stable CHF who do not require constant monitoring
