No, congestive heart failure (CHF) is not a heart attack. CHF is said to happen when the heart is unable to pump blood like it should, often due to a narrowing of the arteries or high blood pressure. A heart attack, however, usually occurs when a coronary artery is blocked, not allowing blood to flow to part of the heart and causing the heart muscle to die.
