heart failure is also known as _____
congestive heart failure
a clinical syndrome characterized by signs and symptoms of ‘‘fluid overload or of inadequate tissue perfusion’’
heart failure
the inability of the heart to pump sufficient blood to meet the needs of the tissue
heart failure
there is a problem in the CONTRACTION of the heart
systolic dysfunction
there is a problem in the FILLING of the heart
diastolic dysfunction

heart failure is classified in tow types:
LHF
RHF
occurs when the ‘left ventricle cannot effectively pump blood’ out of the ventricle into the aorta
pulmonary congestion
when the right ventricle fails, congestion in the peripheral tissues and the vicera
right heart failure
increase venous pressure leads to
JVD / jugular venous distention
what stage: patients with HIGH RISK for developing left ventricular dysfunction but “WITHOUT STRUCTURAL HEART DISEASE or symptoms of heart failure”
STAGE A
what stage: patients WITH left ventricular or structural heart disease and HAS NOT developed symptoms of heart failure
STAGE B
what stage: patients WITH left ventricular or structural heart disease and WITH CURRENT or prior symptoms of heart failure
STAGE C
what stage: patients WITH REFRACTORY END STAGE heart failure requiring specialized interventions
STAGE D
results in decreased blood volume being ejected in the venthen retricle
