Overview
There are several classification schemes used to characterize the pathophysiology of heart failure as either systolic vs diastolic; left vs right; or low output vs high output. The anatomic structure underlying the disease process is often characterized as well. The causes of heart failure are also often characterized by their chronicity (acute/decompensated or chronic).
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. Congestive heart failure is life threatening and should be treated as such irrespective of the underlying cause.
Common Causes
- Arrhythmias
- Cardiomyopathies
- Cardiotoxins (e.g., alcohol, cocaine, aprotinin)
- Congenital heart disease
- Hypertension
- Ischemic heart disease
- Pericarditis
- Pulmonary embolism
- Valvular heart disease
- Viral myocarditis
