A member asked:
I need to recognise between "cardiac insufficiency " and "heart failure "is it correct if been considered them one thing ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Heart failure: You can consider them the same thing. Coronary insufficiency is however not the same thing, it relates to insufficient blood flow in the coronaries.

Perhaps yes...: "cardiac insufficiency" may be a temporary phenomenon and "heat failure" is a definitive diagnosis...
