It's the leading cause of hospitalization in the people over age 55. Although the risk of heart failure does not change as you get older, you are more likely to have heart failure when you are older. Facts About Heart Failure 1) Heart failure doesn't mean your heart isn't working at all.

If you have heart failure, your heart pumps less blood. That causes fluid to back up in your lungs and other body parts. Extra fluid in your lungs makes it hard to breathe. Extra fluid in your legs makes them swell. That extra fluid makes your heart work even harder. Then, your heart failure can get even worse. |

Symptoms usually develop slowly. At first you may feel out of breath only when you climb stairs and notice only a little leg swelling at the end of the day. Later, you may feel out of breath or tired when you do ordinary activities. When heart failure is severe, you may be out of breath even sitting in a chair and have a lot of leg swelling all the time. |
