Heart Failure
It's important to know that, while heart failure is a severe condition, it doesn't mean your heart has stopped working. And Luminis Health's heart care team is here to make sure your heart keeps working at its best.
What Is Heart Failure?
Heart failure means that your heart is damaged and can't pump enough blood for your body's needs. Damage can happen to either one or both sides of your heart.
Heart failure is usually a result of other health conditions that affect your heart, like:
High blood pressure.
Coronary artery disease.
A heart attack.
Defective heart valves.
Lung conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
More than 6 million adults in the U.S. live with heart failure. At Luminis Health, we offer some of the best heart care and treatments in the country.
