Medically reviewed by Angela Ryan Lee, MDMedically reviewed by Angela Ryan Lee, MDHeart failure (HF) is a condition that occurs when there is a problem with the structure or function of your heart. This makes it difficult for your heart to pump blood throughout the body effectively. If you have heart failure, either your heart's lower chambers don't fill up efficiently with blood, or the heart is too weak to pump blood effectively to the rest of the body. However, the stage of heart failure you're in will dictate the severity of your symptoms. There are two complementary classification systems that...

Q. My mother has atrial fibrillation. She takes a blood thinner to prevent stroke, but are there other risks she should know about?. A. Atrial fibrillation (also known as afib) is a common disorder marked by a rapid, irregular heart rhythm that causes blood to pool in the heart's upper chambers, or atria. The stagnant blood can form clots, which may then travel to the brain and cause a stroke. That's why people with afib take blood thinners, which don't actually "thin" the blood but rather discourage clot formation. While doctors have long warned about the heightened risk of stroke with afib, a recent study found that heart failure — when the heart fails to pump adequate amounts of blood to the body — might be a risk that occurs even more often.
