Stage 2 heart failure, also known as mild heart failure, is characterized by symptoms such as fatigue, palpitations, and dyspnea (shortness of breath) with ordinary physical activity. These symptoms occur because the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently is slightly reduced, but there are no symptoms at rest. Angina at rest is more indicative of more severe heart conditions.
