Heart failure prevention starts with YOU. Know the signs and symptoms.

If you have high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, obesity, or coronary artery disease, you may have a higher risk for heart failure—even if you feel well. Heart failure can develop over time, often before symptoms appear.

Possible early warning signs include:

Difficulty performing daily activities due to fatigue or shortness of breath
Swelling in the feet, ankles, legs, or abdomen
Sudden or rapid weight gain from fluid buildup
Persistent cough or wheezing

More than 6 million people in the U.S. are living with heart failure.

Early recognition and management of risk factors may help improve long-term outcomes and quality of life.

Understanding your risk is the first step toward protecting your heart. Talk with your healthcare professional about your heart failure risk and any symptoms you may be experiencing.
