The doctor explained which symptoms will help to recognize heart failure in a timely manner.
Cardiologist Anastasia Malay shared a comment on this topic.
In an interview with Gazeta.Ru , the doctor listed the signs of a deadly heart disease.
One of the main symptoms is shortness of breath. It occurs when the heart cannot pump blood normally.
This causes pulmonary edema and fluid accumulation in the lungs.
A high pulse rate and a feeling of extreme fatigue or weakness also indicate potential heart failure.
Swelling of the feet and ankles should be a cause for concern.
In addition, progressive heart failure is characterized by fluid accumulation in the abdominal area.
Some patients with this condition experience weight gain that is not due to adipose tissue.
We are talking about the accumulation of fluid in the body.
For example, a patient's weight may increase by more than 1 kg during the day.
This is an alarming signal indicating the development of heart failure, the cardiologist warned.
