- There are several general causes of heart failure. Heart failure may be of pericardial origin such as tamponade and pericardial constriction, of valvular origin such as aortic or mitral regurgitation; of myocardial origin such as idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, familial dilated cardiomyopathy, ischemic cardiomyopathy, valvular cardiomyopathy; or of coronary vascular origin such as acute ischemic episodes, and rhythm disturbances such as tachycardia-induced heart failure.
- Other secondary causes include:
- anemia
- obesity
- drugs [(such as first generation calcium channel blockers, disopyramide, and sotalol, NSAIDs (may cause fluid retention), beta blockers (may cause heart failure with their negative inotropic effects)].
