Congestive Heart Failure Mortality
CHF is one of the most common and severe heart diseases affecting Americans, and one of the most common reasons for hospitalization. Congestion is the presence of an abnormal amount of fluid in the tissues, usually because of limitations in the body's ability to return the flow of blood from the arms or legs to the heart and lungs. Though CHF has many possible underlying causes, the end result is an inability of the heart muscle to function well enough to meet the demands of the rest of the body. CHF mortality is influenced greatly by other medical problems, including lung disease, high blood pressure, cancer and liver disease.
