Queen Latifah Creates “What The HF” Heart Failure Awareness & Why It’s Important

Queen Latifah continues her awareness with “What The HF” (Rise Above HF) making America aware of heart failure and what it actually means. Queen’s mother is a victim of HF, but through education survives it daily and wants everyone else to know how to prevent it, treat it, and to simply know what it is! Queen Latifah along with the American Heart Association, created a simple quiz to test your HF knowledge, a fun way to learn more and educate others.

“Nearly 1 Million New Patients Diagnosed With HF Each Year”

This awareness campaign is important because 1 in 5 Americans will develop HF in their lifetime. If more people where aware of heart failure, studies show that number would decrease. Even though reports have come out and a major documentary called “What The Health” has surfaced about the systematic cycle of sickness, awareness is always key. Learning about the pharmaceutical company and heart failure, could present some major changes in an individuals life to create a wealth of prevention. Spread the news today.

WHAT IS HEART FAILURE?

“HF is a condition in which the heart can’t pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs. In some cases, the heart can’t fill with enough blood. In other cases, the heart can’t pump blood to the rest of the body with enough force. Some people have both problems.

The term “heart failure” doesn’t mean that your heart has stopped or is about to stop working. However, heart failure is a serious condition that requires medical care.” –GOV
