Heart attacks is not really different, but it is due to the lack of oxygen to a certain part of the heart, due to a blockage. Symptoms of heart failure would be shortness of breath, edema in the peripheral..

Heart failure is due to the heart not being able to sufficiently pump enough blood to the tissues of the body. The blood and fluid begins to back up into the lungs, kidneys and other tissues causing edema, (swelling) shortness of breath, fatigue and tiredness.
