About HF What is HF?
The heart is a powerful muscle that circulates blood throughout the body. If you have HF, it doesn’t mean that your heart has failed or stopped working. However, it does mean that the structure of your heart may have changed, and isn’t working as well.
Each time your heart beats, it squeezes and then relaxes.
HF is an ongoing disease that gets worse over time. But, the more you know about the disease, the more you can do to help manage your condition.
