| heart failure |
Congestive heart failure, or simply "heart failure," occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood fast enough to meet the needs of the body. Patients who have congestive heart failure may need to stay in the hospital for medical treatment until the blood flow in and out of the heart can be equalized. This is usually done with medicines. The quality measure for this condition is based on data from patients ages 18 and older who had to stay in the hospital to get treatment. Top
