TREATMENT OF HEART FAILURE .
Heart failure can occur in people of all ages, even in small children (especially those who are born with a heart defect). But it is much more common in the elderly because older people are more likely to have diseases that damage muscle and heart valves. Thus the age-related changes in the heart tends to make the heart pump less efficiently.

Versus left heart failure is a condition in which the left side of the heart loses its ability to pump blood efficiently, which does not meet the requirements of the body .
