What is the blood pressure of someone with congestive heart failure?

Little robust evidence exists regarding the optimal blood pressure target for patients with heart failure, but a value near 130/80 mmHg seems to be adequate according to the current guidelines.

What are the signs of worsening congestive heart failure?

Signs of Worsening Heart Failure.
Shortness of breath..
Feeling dizzy or lightheaded..
Weight gain of three or more pounds in one day..
Weight gain of five pounds in one week..
Unusual swelling in the legs, feet, hands, or abdomen..
A persistent cough or chest congestion (the cough may be dry or hacking).

How does heart failure cause high blood pressure?

With heart failure, blood moves through the heart's pumping chambers less effectively, and pressure in the heart increases, making it harder for your heart to deliver oxygen and nutrients to your body. To compensate for reduced pumping power, the heart's chambers respond by stretching to hold more blood.

What is the first stage of congestive heart failure?

Congestive heart failure stages.
