Johnson and William G. Stevenson -- Patient with a left bundle branch block and dilated cardiomyopathy with persistent low ejection fraction treated with resynchronization therapy / William T. Abraham -- Hemodynamic optimization in the patient with refractory systolic heart failure / Nancy sweitzer -- Evaluation and management of the heart transplant candidate / Mauricio Velez and Maryl R. Johnson -- Low gradient aortic stenosis and significant left ventricular dysfunction / Todd Dardas and Catherine Otto -- Left ventricular dysfunction with mitral regurgitation / Amanda R. Vest and William J. Stewart -- Symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy / Rachel Steckelberg and Paul Sorajja -- Heart failure in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease / Salman Allana and Walter Kao -- Cardiotoxicity of anticancer treatment / Steven M. Ewer and Kari B. Wisinski -- Cardiac amyloidosis / Ryan Kipp and Peter Rahko -- Left ventricular dysfunction and associated renal failure : the cardiorenal syndrome / David Murray -- Evaluation and workup of a patient with familial dilated cardiomyopathy / Ana Morales and Ray E. Hershberger -- The role of risk modeling in heart failure / Eric S. Ketchem and Wayne C. Levy.
Heart failure is defined as the weakening of the heart's pumping power, and that it is unable to adequately supply the body with oxygen and nutrients. As the heart weakens it tends to stretch and stiffen under the stress. The kidneys respond by causing the body to retain fluid. If fluid builds up in the arms, legs, ankles, feet, lungs, or other organs, the body becomes congested, and congestive heart failure is the term used to describe the condition. Heart failure is the result of heart damage that can be caused by a number of diseases, including coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, atria.
