Elizabeth Taylor was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2003 and had surgery for mitral valve regurgitation (sometimes called a "leaky heart valve"), a complication of her condition, in 2009.
Congestive heart failure, or CHF, commonly results from high blood pressure, heart valve disease or infection, and is one of the chronic health issues arising from poor lifestyle choices, such as smoking, drinking, drug abuse, obesity, and insufficient exercise, all problems Taylor experienced over the years. Doctors speculate Taylor's back problems (scoliosis and compressed discs), which caused chronic pain and depression, were a major factor in development of the disease.
CHF causes the heart to enlarge and weaken, making it incapable of pumping enough blood to supply other organs with adequate oxygen. This leads to stress on the kidneys, preventing them from eliminating sodium and fluid from the body, causing water retention and difficulty breathing.
Elizabeth Taylor had been hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment of CHF during the six weeks leading up to her death on March 23, 2011.
