Patient's question:
I've been feeling chest tightness recently, sometimes with sharp pain in the chest, and at times I've felt like I can't breathe. Later, while resting, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said it was asymptomatic heart failure. Hearing this term, I was quite puzzled. What is asymptomatic heart failure?Doctor's answer:
If a patient has this symptom. The condition of asymptomatic heart failure is having, after many careful examinations, discovered that their heart's ejection function is increased, yet with no symptoms. If this is the case, symptoms will inevitably reappear after a short period of time. Therefore, even though the patient has the condition of asymptomatic heart failure, it is still necessary to actively treat it to prevent the condition from worsening.
