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
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
- Congenital heart disease
- Hypertension
- Ischemic heart disease
- Pericarditis
- Pulmonary embolism
- Valvular heart disease
- Viral myocarditis
