Heart Failure

Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump a sufficient amount of blood to meet the needs of the body. If the heart's ability to pump blood decreases and weakens, the kidneys are also impacted, as they then cannot work to filter fluids out of the body effectively. This can directly, and quickly, lead to the excess of fluid that occurs with hypervolemia. Many studies have found a high correlation with hypervolemia in patients with chronic heart failure. For some individuals with this condition, the hypervolemia never disappears completely, even with thorough treatment.
