What are the symptoms of congestive heart failure?
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a syndrome that can be brought about by several causes. Congestive heart failure is a weakening of the heart caused by an underlying heart or blood vessel problem, or a combination of several different problems, including the following: Weakened heart muscle (cardiomyopathy)
What is the most common cause of left-sided heart failure?
When the left ventricle fails, increased fluid pressure is, in effect, transferred back through the lungs, ultimately damaging the heart's right side. When the right side loses pumping power, blood backs up in the body's veins. This usually causes swelling in the legs and ankles.
What is a left ventricular failure?
heart failure in which the left ventricle fails to contract forcefully enough to maintain a normal cardiac output and peripheral perfusion. Pulmonary congestion and edema develop from back pressure of accumulated blood in the left ventricle.
What is the most common cause of right heart failure?
High blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries increases the workload of the right ventricle, eventually causing the right ventricle to fail. CAD can cause left-sided heart failure leading to right-sided heart failureor can directly cause right-sided heart failure by blocking blood supply to the right ventricle.
