  develops when your heart muscles do not pump
  blood properly. Some typical conditions like high
  blood pressure or coronary artery disease slowly

  surgery which can damage your brain too. However,
  in order to prevent your brain from
  cardiovascular procedures, doctors use cerebral
  embolic protection devices during cardiovascular
  procedures.
• Heart failure can affect the left or right side,
  or both at the same time. Well, a heart surgery
  can either be chronic or an acute condition.
  Undeniably, heart failure is a serious medical
  condition that needs treatment. In fact, early
  treatment increases your chances of survival.
