Heart failure is a condition in which the heart becomes weakened and is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs. The final stage of heart failure is also known as end-stage heart failure or stage D heart failure.
In final stage heart failure, the heart is severely damaged and cannot effectively pump blood to the rest of the body. This can result in symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the legs and ankles, and difficulty performing normal activities.
Treatment options for final stage heart failure may include medications, lifestyle changes, and medical devices such as implantable defibrillators or ventricular assist devices. In some cases, a heart transplant may be necessary.
It is important to note that final stage heart failure is a serious condition that requires ongoing medical management and close monitoring by a healthcare professional.
