Right sided heart failure
Right-side heart failure is a term for the decreased ability of the right side of the heart to pump blood. Because the right side of the heart pumps blood from the body to the lungs, this can leads to shortness of breath and to pooling of the blood in the body, resulting in leg and abdominal swelling.
