This document discusses risk factors, pathophysiology, and symptoms of congestive heart failure. It outlines both modifiable risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, and smoking, as well as non-modifiable factors like age, gender, and ethnicity. The pathophysiology involves changes in endothelial tissue, narrowing of vessels, thrombus formation, and increased workload on the heart. This leads to myocardial dysfunction, failure, and complications like edema, hypoxemia, and death if not treated.
