Question

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(b) : Heart failure means the state of heart when it is not pumping blood effectively enough to meet the needs of the body. It is sometimes called congestive heart failure because congestion of the lungs is one of the main symptoms of this disease. Heart failure is not the same as cardiac arrest (when the heart stops beating) or a heart attack (when the heart muscle is suddenly damaged by an inadequate blood supply). Hypertension is the term for blood pressure that is higher than normal $(120 / 80 \mathrm{mmHg})$.
