Chronic heart failure

Chronic heart failure is a progressive clinical syndrome affecting the cardiovascular system, characterized by the persistent inability of the heart to maintain adequate cardiac output to meet systemic metabolic demands or doing so only at elevated ventricular filling pressures Cardinal clinical features include exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, persistent fatigue, and signs of congestion such as peripheral edema and elevated jugular venous pressure

Chronic heart failure is a progressive clinical syndrome affecting the cardiovascular system, characterized by the persistent inability of the heart to maintain adequate cardiac output to meet systemic metabolic demands or doing so only at elevated ventricular filling pressures Pathophysiologically, the disorder involves structural or functional impairment in ventricular filling (diastolic dysfunction) or myocardial ejection (systolic dysfunction), which triggers chronic neurohormonal activation...

Pathophysiologically, the disorder involves structural or functional impairment in ventricular filling (diastolic dysfunction) or myocardial ejection (systolic dysfunction), which triggers chronic neurohormonal activation, maladaptive cardiac remodeling, and systemic fluid retention Cardinal clinical features include exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, persistent fatigue, and signs of congestion such as peripheral edema and elevated jugular venous pressure
