What happens of the right side of your heart fails?

If the right side of your heart fails, it can lead to a condition known as right-sided heart failure, where the heart struggles to pump blood effectively to the lungs for oxygenation. This can result in symptoms such as swelling in the legs and abdomen, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Blood may back up in the veins, causing fluid retention and potentially leading to complications like pulmonary hypertension. Timely medical intervention is crucial to manage the condition and prevent further complications.
