Divide mileage by fuel usage to see your car's fuel consumption. This tells you how many miles you drove per gallon of gas. For example, if you drove 335 miles before refueling, and you filled your car up with 12 gallons of gas, your fuel consumption was 27.9 miles per gallon, or mpg (335 miles / 12 gallon = 27.9 mpg).
Failure on the left side is linked to a general weakening of the heart muscle. This is the more common type of heart failure. The weakened heart muscle no longer can keep up with the demands of the body for oxygen-rich blood. Back-up into the lungs occurs. Symptoms of left-side heart failure include: 1  Tiredness (fatigue). 2  Shortness of breath. 3  Asthma-like wheezing.
Blood flow with heart failure. In CHF (congestive heart failure), the heart muscle becomes weaker. When the heart muscle is weakened, it is less forceful in pumping blood throughout the body. Less blood moves out of the heart. The body has several ways to try to keep the same amount of blood flow moving. First, the heartâs chambers (the atria and ventricles) stretch to hold more blood.
