Hi, I believe a heart failure is associated with disorders that impair the blood pumping activities of the heart, while a heart attack is related to oxygen starvation of the heart muscle.

In a heart attack, the heart itself is damaged. Heart failure means the heart can't do its job. A heart attack can certainly lead to heart failure.
I would say it's like the difference between a cut to the femoral artery and blood loss. You don't die from the cut, you die from the loss of blood. If the heart attack is severe enough, you can die from the resulting heart failure.

Sure, why not? It's the second example given http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=21579&dict=CALD:
She died of/from hunger/cancer/a heart attack/her injuries.
She died of/from hunger/cancer/a heart attack/her injuries.

Hey, while we're on this topic, wasn't there a thread once that talked about the difference between "he died of" and "he died from"?
Does anyone know what the difference is supposed to be?

Hi,
You are most likely to be correct.
A heart attack is caused by the blockage of the arteries and makes your heart pump slower.
But a heart failure is when your heart does not pump enough and makes you tired, in other words it means that a heart failure is when your heart skips a beat (pulse), there are treatments for this.
