Heart failure in men and women: Understanding the differences in symptoms

Dr. Naveen Bhamri, Senior Director and Head of Cardiology, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Shalimar Bagh explains the key differences between the symptoms of heart failure seen in men and women. Heart failure occurs when the heart can't pump blood effectively, leading to symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid retention. Causes include coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, and heart attack. Managing heart failure involves lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes surgery to improve heart function.
