They do NOT mean that the heart stops, or that the persons suffering from them are near death. Often, these are conditions that can be treated. They mean, essentially, that the heart is for some reason weaker than it should be, and weak enough so that there is some fluid backup. The right heart takes systemic blood, blood from the body, and delivers it to the lungs so it can release carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen. If the right heart is failing, there may be edema, or swelling, in the arms or legs. The left heart brings blood that is freshly oxygenated by the lungs and delivers it to the body. If the left heart is weak, there may be congestion in the lungs from the fluid backup.
