Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump a sufficient amount of blood to the body tissues, leading to a buildup of fluid in the lungs and other organs. Myocardial infarction (A) is a heart attack caused by a blockage in the coronary arteries. Hypertension (B) is high blood pressure and Angina (D) is chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. While these conditions can increase the risk of heart failure, they are not direct causes of it.
