CHF: There is a new york heart association classification describing how bad the symptoms are. Treatment can sometimes move a patient between stages. They are descriptive stages.

Yes: we have 2 types of heart failure :
systolic ( means the pumping function of the heart is reduced)
Diastolic ( means the heart is stiff and unable to relax enough to get filled with blood)
stages : 1-4
1 means the symptoms ( shortness of breath ) comes with severe exertion
2 with minimal exertion
