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.

    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
    -Maintaining a healthy weight
    -reducing and managing stress

    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.
