Dr. Adam Goodcoff, a specialist in emergency medicine, has revealed a test you can perform to identify possible signs of heart failure. “You could find out the diagnosis with your hands, if you press with your finger on the leg, in the area of the ankle, and there is a dent that persists for several seconds, this could signal heart failure.” a spus Dr Goodcoff.
When this sign appears, it is an indicator of the presence of edema, a swelling caused by the accumulation of fluid in the body, commonly present in the ankles. The demonstration video also appeared on Tik Tok.
Edema is a common problem in patients with heart failure because, when the heart cannot pump “correctly”, increased pressure is generated inside the blood vessels. This causes fluid to leak into the surrounding tissues. An important aspect is as “swelling in the ankles and feet tends to subside in the morning and then worsen throughout the day,” according to the doctor.
