What is the difference between Chronic and Congestive Heart Failure?


What is the difference between Chronic and Congestive Heart Failure?I see CHF used as an acronym all the time, for both chronic heart failure and congestive heart failure. Is there a difference between these two? Is one term more correct than the other?

I've never seen CHF used for anything except congestive heart failure.
