Heart failure can lead to swelling of the hands when it develops to a certain level of severity.
Heart failure, referred to as heart failure, is a group of syndromes in which the heart’s systolic and/or diastolic function is impaired, preventing the venous return of blood to the heart, leading to blood pooling in the venous system and insufficient perfusion of blood in the arterial system, thus causing circulatory disorders of the heart.
In heart failure, especially right heart failure or total heart failure, the circulation is obviously stagnant, which can cause edema in all parts of the body. Due to the gravity factor, edema often first occurs in the lower limbs, ankles and other sagging parts, long-term bedridden people can first see the waist and buttocks. As the disease progresses, the hands can also be affected, edema.
Swelling of the hands in heart failure is often a sign of seriousness of the condition, and it is necessary to consult a doctor in a timely manner and carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor.
