What is congestive heart failure?

There are a total of four chambers in the heart, two at the top and two at the bottom. The upper two chambers are called arteries and the two chambers of the lower half are called ventricles. The ventricle works to pump blood to all the parts of the body. The artery draws blood to send it back to the rest of the body. When there is a problem of congestive heart failure, the ventricle is not able to pump sufficient amount of blood into the body. As a result, blood and other fluids go back to the stomach, liver, lungs etc. This can be a life-threatening condition, in which case the person needs immediate treatment.
