Condition #9: Heart Failure
Our heart is hard at work every single day and it needs to be working just as well in old age as it was on the day we were born. That is quite a tall order, and our heart will sometimes begin to fade in its effectiveness as we get older. This is a condition known as heart failure, and it should be taken seriously.
There is a wide range of causes of heart failure. The symptoms will often get gradually worse over time, potentially leading to real danger for the patient. As heart failure worsens, patients will feel an increase in the severity of symptoms such as being short of breath and fatigue.
