Heart failure is closely connected to chronic kidney disease (CKD). When the heart can't pump blood efficiently, the kidneys may not receive the blood flow they need to function properly. Reduced kidney function, in turn, can make heart failure more difficult to manage by affecting blood pressure and fluid balance. This Healthmap guide covers the nature of heart failure, common symptoms, treatment options, medications, and lifestyle changes that can help reduce complications and improve quality of life for patients.
