What is Acute Heart Failure?
Acute heart failure occurs when the heart is suddenly unable to pump blood effectively, leading to a rapid buildup of fluid in the lungs and other parts of the body. It can develop quickly, often as a result of heart attack, severe high blood pressure, or complications from chronic heart disease. Symptoms can include severe shortness of breath, fatigue, swollen legs or abdomen, and fluid retention, requiring urgent medical attention.
