Study Notes

Heart Failure (HF)

  • Onset of HF can be sudden due to a large myocardial infarct or acute valve dysfunction
  • Onset of HF can be gradual, mainly in hypertension, due to cumulative effects of chronic work overload and progressive loss of myocardium

Types of Heart Failure

  • Left-sided HF: affecting the left ventricle of the heart
  • Right-sided HF: affecting the right ventricle of the heart
  • Biventricular HF: affecting both ventricles

Progression of Heart Failure

  • Left-sided HF can often lead to right-sided HF
