Elizabeth Taylor died of chronic congestive heart failure, first diagnosed in 2003. She had surgery for mitral valve regurgitation (sometimes called a "leaky heart valve"), a complication of her condition, in 2009, and was relatively stable until February 2011, when she was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for complications related to her condition.

Taylor had improved recently, and even used her Twitter account the week before her March 23, 2011 death.

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.
