Objective/Purpose: Congestive Heart failure (CHF) is a common clinical disorder that leads to pulmonary vascular congestion and reduced cardiac output. The main objective of this review is to study the risk factors/ causes, pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis, their types or stages, pathogenesis, and treatment of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). This review provides information about the development of CHF, condition, causes, its treatment and how to improve the patient care and safety. It emphasizes the role of healthcare providers or pharmacists in counselling the patients who are suffering from any type of heart related disorder. Content: Congestive Heart Failure is a chronic condition in which the heart does not pump enough blood which is required for normal functioning of the body. Congestive Heart Failure in India appears in high range and estimates of occurrence range from 1.3 million to 4.6 million. In the 16LMIC'S, a heart failure cohort study of 5800 participants had been conducted, which revealed that one year death rate for acute heart failure was highest for participants from Africa (347) and India (23%). In America, persons over 20 years of age have a heart failure. Approximately 6-7 million Americans of an age over 20 years have suffered from heart failure. It is also expected that it may rise to 8.5 million by 2030. Approximately 1 in 4 persons suffers from Heart Failure in their lifetime. Generally, congestive heart failure is a long-term clinical disorder in which the heart can't pump enough blood which is essential for normal functioning of the body. Appropriate medication and treatment should be selected or by considering the type and stage of Congestive Heart Failure.
