   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure

   Heart failure (HF), also known as congestive heart failure (CHF), is a syndrome caused by an impairment in the heart's ability to fill with and pump blood.. Although symptoms vary based on which side of the heart is affected, HF typically presents with shortness of breath, excessive fatigue, and bilateral leg swelling. [3]

   The differential diagnoses of Kussmaul's sign includes constrictive pericarditis, restrictive cardiomyopathy, pericardial effusion, and severe right-sided heart failure. [ citation needed ] With cardiac tamponade , jugular veins are distended and typically show a prominent x descent and an absent y descent as opposed to patients with ...

5. Myocardial infarction complications - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction...

   A myocardial infarction may compromise the function of the heart as a pump for the circulation, a state called heart failure. There are different types of heart failure; left- or right-sided (or bilateral) heart failure may occur depending on the affected part of the heart, and it is a low-output type of failure.

6. Pathophysiology of heart failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathophysiology_of_heart...

   The symptoms of heart failure are largely determined by which side of the heart fails. The left side pumps blood into the systemic circulation, whilst the right side pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation. Whilst left-sided heart failure will reduce cardiac output to the systemic circulation, the initial symptoms often manifest due to ...

7. Tricuspid regurgitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricuspid_regurgitation

   The symptoms of TR depend on its severity. Severe TR causes right-sided heart failure, with the development of ascites and peripheral edema. [1] In severe cases of right heart failure due to TR, venous congestion of the kidneys and liver may lead to cardiorenal syndrome (kidney failure secondary to heart failure) and cardiohepatic syndromes (liver failure secondary to heart failure ...

8. Bilharzial cor pulmonale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilharzial_cor_pulmonale

   Bilharzial cor pulmonale is the condition of right sided heart failure secondary to fibrosis and sclerosis of the pulmonary artery branches.It results from shifting of the Schistosoma haematobium ova from the pelvic and vesical plexus to the pulmonary artery branches where they settle and produce granuloma and fibrosis.

9. Wikipedia:Osmosis/Heart failure - Wikipedia

   This, just like before, makes it harder for the right side of the heart to pump against and can lead to right-sided hypertrophy and heart failure. When chronic lung disease leads to right-sided hypertrophy and failure, it’s known as cor pulmonale. With left-sided failure, blood gets backed up into the lungs.
