heart FAILure
The scientific name for heart failure is "congestive heart failure" or "cardiac failure." It is a condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively to meet the body's needs.
False, a heart attack is a loss of blood to the heart. Congestive heart failure is the inability if the heart to pump enough blood for the bodys needs.
It could possibly be caused by blood backing up in the lungs from the heart not pumping properly (Congestive Heart failure). the blood could be actually coming from the lungs and being coughed up
increase in water will increase the blood pressure. high blood pressure usually precipitate the heart failure. Congestive heart failure on the other hand usually start with left ventricular failure and finally also cause the right ventricular failure. Patient will congestive heart failure usually will be given diuretic medication to remove excess water in their blood.

Congestive Heart Failure
High blood pressure makes the heart work harder and weakens it over time. It increases the risk of heart attack, stroke , kidney failure, and congestive heart failure.
No, but it can lead to heart failure. In essence it doesn't literally "stop" your heart but It clogs many of the major arteries and causes hypertension (high blood pressure) which then puts a lot of pressure on your heart, which can lead to Heart Failure (cardiac arrest) or heart attack (acute myocardial infarction)
Im not a doctor but that sounds a lot like a heart attack.
