Heart Failure Treatment Hospital in Himatnagar
Heart failure means the heart is not pumping as well as it should – it does not mean the heart has stopped. Fluid builds up in the lungs and legs, causing breathlessness on walking or lying flat, swelling of the feet and tiredness. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, heart failure is managed with medicines, fluid and salt control, ICU care during severe episodes and regular follow-up.
Understanding the Condition
What Is Heart Failure?
After a heart attack, years of high BP or valve problems, the heart muscle can become weak or stiff. The body then holds on to salt and water, which collects in the lungs and legs. With the right medicines and habits, many people with heart failure feel much better and live active lives.
Common Causes
- Previous heart attack
- Long-standing high BP
- Heart valve disease
- Diabetes
- Heart muscle disease
- Irregular heart rhythm

Common Questions
Heart Failure FAQs
Does heart failure mean the heart has stopped?
No. It means the heart is not pumping as strongly as it should. Treatment can greatly improve symptoms.
Why do my feet swell?
A weak heart makes the body hold extra salt and water, which collects in the legs and lungs.
Should I weigh myself daily?
Yes. A sudden gain of 1–2 kg in a few days can mean fluid build-up and needs a doctor’s review.
Can I exercise with heart failure?
Gentle, regular walking is usually helpful. Your doctor will advise how much is safe.
Is breathlessness on walking always due to the heart?
Not always – lung problems, anaemia and weight can also cause it. See our lung care page too.
