Hypoxia, defined as reduced or insufficient oxygen supply caused by reduced oxygen saturation of arterial blood, results in cardiovascular system adjustments to deliver more blood to tissues to compensate for reduced oxygen delivery, which is sensed by oxygen-sensing mechanisms, such as carotid bodies

Answer:
When this happens, there isn't enough oxygenated blood reaching the brain and muscles, and fluid begins to backup in the lungs and other tissues. The lack of oxygen causes the main symptoms of heart failure such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and difficulty completing tasks that require exertion.
