More common than RSHF.
Left-sided heart failure occurs when the left ventricle doesn't pump efficiently. This prevents your body from getting enough oxygen-rich blood. The blood backs up into your lungs instead, which causes shortness of breath and a buildup of fluid.

One way to prevent heart failure is to prevent and control conditions that cause heart failure, such as high blood pressure, diabetes or obesity.
In RSHF, Fluid may back up into your abdomen, legs and feet, causing swelling. This happens because
In LSHF, Fluid may back up in your lungs, causing shortness of breath.

Lifestyle changes you can make to help prevent heart failure include:

-Not smoking
-controlling certain conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes,
-Staying physically active, and
-eating healthy foods

Description:
The left ventricle fails and increased fluid pressure is transferred back through the lungs. This damages the heart's right side. Blood is backed up in the body's veins.
