Definition of 'heart failure' U.S. National Library of Medicine 

1.  heart failure
A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body.

Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

the old man died of heart failure.
