What do you think the terms 'Heart Failure' and 'Congestive Cardiac Failure' means?
I'm a Registered Nurse doing a research project on this topic, and I need to know what the general community thinks these terms mean! So please don't Google the terms, just in your own words, please answer what you're impression of the terms is!
Thankyou!
Answer:
The heart isn`t able to pump blood adequately due to weakened heart muscles, causing fluid build-up in lungs and other organs would be my guess.
They both mean the same thing in general. The heart could not continue to pump blood through the body, for what could be numerous reasons.
I think that they both are the same. My understanding of the terms were that Health Professionals spouted off Congestive Cardiac Failure and maybe just say to their patients the have Heart Failure. dunno if thats what you want
not to get too technical, isn't that when the heart just stops beating?
