Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Congestive heart failure is defined as the inability of the heart to pump enough blood to meet the body's demands, leading to fluid buildup in the lungs and/or extremities.

Other options have different pathologic conditions, such as coarctation of the aorta (narrowing of the aortic arch), coronary artery disease (blockages in the coronary arteries), endocarditis (infection of the lining of the heart), heart block (interruption of electrical impulses in the heart), fibrillation (irregular and rapid heart rate), flutter (fast but regular heart rate), patent ductus arteriosus (abnormal opening between the aorta and pulmonary artery), septal defects (abnormal communication between the heart chambers), and tetralogy of Fallot (combination of four heart defects).
