Left-sided heart failure occurs when the left ventricle of the heart cannot effectively pump blood to the rest of the body, leading to a backup of blood in the lungs. This condition often causes symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, coughing (especially at night), and fluid buildup in the lungs, known as pulmonary edema. Common causes include hypertension, coronary artery disease, and cardiomyopathy. Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, medications such as diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or beta-blockers, and in advanced cases, devices like pacemakers or heart transplants.
