Heart Failure is a chronic, progressive condition that affects 8-10 million people in India while heart attack, a sudden cardiac event, affects 2 million people every year. There are several risk factors that lead to heart failure like cardiomyopathy, diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease etc., A prior heart attack is also one of the reasons. In fact, one out of every four people who suffer a heart attack eventually develop heart failure within four years. Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle responsible for the pumping action weakens or stiffens overtime. It directly affects the pumping efficiency of the heart and results in an enlarged heart.
