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.
Ongoing poor blood flow to the heart muscle reduces the heart's ability to contract and causes it to pump less blood during each beat. The less blood your heart pumps out to your body, the less blood it is actually pumping back to itself through the coronary arteries. The end result is that heart failure makes ischemia worse, which in turn makes heart failure worse. Mitral valve regurgitation can gradually lead to systolic heart failure.
