Remember: Early detection and treatment of heart conditions can significantly improve your quality of life. If you’re experiencing any symptoms related to heart health, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly.
A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle is blocked, often due to a blood clot in a coronary artery. This can cause damage or death to the heart tissue.
What are the symptoms of heart failure?
-
- Symptoms of heart failure can include shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the legs or ankles, rapid heartbeat, and persistent cough.
