Heart Attack vs. Heart Failure: How Do They Differ?

Conclusion

Heart failure and heart attacks have many of the same risk factors and underlying medical disorders in common.

When a portion of the heart loses all blood flow, it experiences a heart attack. When the heart cannot efficiently pump enough blood to the various areas of the body, heart failure results. Visit your doctor as soon as you notice any symptoms of either condition.
