Heart failure occurs when your heart can’t pump enough blood to meet your body’s demand. This can be chronic, meaning it happens slowly over time. Or it can be acute, meaning it happens suddenly.
According to a 2014 study, approximately 26 million people worldwide were living with heart failure at the time. In the United States, heart failure is a major cause of people over 65 being admitted to the hospital. This may be because people are living longer with heart disease, which can lead to heart failure over time.
