Facial edema, jugular venous distention, ascites, and leg edema are common in heart failure.
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is weakened and the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, resulting in fluid retention in the body.
Conditions that distinguish from heart failure include:
1.Kidney disease: Chronic kidney disease leads to decreased kidney function, which may cause sodium and water retention and edema.
2.Cirrhosis: Cirrhosis causes portal hypertension, leading to ascites and edema of the lower extremities.
3.Lymphatic blockage: Lymphatic blockage can cause puffiness of the face and puffiness of the lower extremities. 4.Myocardial amyloidosis, increased right heart pressure.
4.Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, elevated left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, high pulmonary pressure, and manifestations of right heart failure.
5.Mediastinal tumors, superior vena cava occlusion syndrome, obstruction of blood return to the superior vena cava, elevated jugular venous pressure, distension, and facial edema.
*Methods of heart failure include:
1.Medications**: Drugs such as diuretics, ACE inhibitors, receptor blockers, etc., are used to reduce the burden on the heart, promote urine excretion, and lower blood pressure.
2.Dietary control: limit salt intake, control water intake, and avoid worsening edema.
3.Remove**.
4.Pacemaker or heart surgery: For people with severe heart failure, a pacemaker implant or heart surgery may be needed to improve heart function.
*Heart failure requires comprehensive consideration of the patient's condition and**, so it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner and receive a diagnosis from a professional doctor**.
