Guide To Heart Failure Stages

Stage A Heart Failure

Stage A heart failure is the earliest type of heart failure, which means this is the time during which patients are going to have the best chance at overcoming this health condition. This is medically defined as pre-heart failure. It hasn’t happened yet, but it’s going to happen based on specific risk factors. For example, someone with a family history of heart failure is considered high risk. Furthermore, individuals who have hypertension, diabetes, or other specific health problems might also be in early heart failure. Some of those health problems include anything from a history of rheumatic fever to a history of alcohol abuse. Individuals who have metabolic syndrome also fall into this category.
