	eMedicine - Heart Failure : Article by Michael E Zevitz
		Heart failure is the pathophysiologic state in which the heart, via an abnormality of cardiac function (detectable or not), fails to pump blood at a rate commensurate with the requirements of the metabolizing tissues and/or pumps only from an abnormally elevated diastolic filling pressure.
		In patients with CHF, the risk of cardiac sudden death from ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation is considerable, and the degree of risk is correlated with the degree of decompensation and the degree of LV dysfunction.
		Cardiac cachexia is found in long-standing heart failure, particularly of the RV, because of anorexia from hepatic and intestinal congestion and sometimes because of digitalis toxicity.

	Heart Failure
		It is predominantly a venodilator, and to a lesser extent, an arterial vasodilator that reduces cardiac preload and alleviates pulmonary congestion.
		Cardiac resynchronization therapy can be combined with an ICD as a single device if a patient meets criteria for both devices, as often is the case.
		Cardiac transplantation is reserved for otherwise healthy patients with end-stage congestive heart failure with severely impaired function despite optimal medical therapy.

	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Heart failure
		Heart failure, also called congestive heart failure, is a life-threatening condition in which the heart can no longer pump enough blood to the rest of the body.
		The most common causes of heart failure are hypertension (high blood pressure) and coronary artery disease (for example, you have had a heart attack).
		Heart failure is usually a chronic illness, and it may worsen with infection or other physical stressors.

		Cisplatin and gemcitabine have not been clearly associated with cardiac failure, though cisplatin has been occasionally associated with acute as well as late arterial occlusive events such as myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular thrombotic events.
		This study did not show a negative impact of bortezomib on the incidence of congestive heart failure, which was comparable in both arms at 2 percent [13].
		Increased expression of genes coding for ubiquitin-proteasome pathway was demonstrated in a rat cardiac hypertrophy model [14].

		Pathogenesis of sodium and water retention in high-output and low-output cardiac failure, nephrotic syndrome, cirrhosis, and pregnancy (2)
		The initiator of retention has been proposed to be either a fall in cardiac output (e.g., low-output cardiac failure and vasoconstrictor hypovolemic nephrotic syndrome) or peripheral arterial vasodilatation (e.g., high-output cardiac failure, cirrhosis, arteriovenous fistula, and pregnancy).
		Otherwise, when kidneys are healthy, either a fall in cardiac output or peripheral arterial vasodilatation may diminish arterial vascular filling and thereby initiate a series of hemodynamic and hormonal events that result in renal sodium and water retention (Fig.

		Thus diastolic failure results in an increase in LVEDP without a rise in LVEDV (the combination of pulmonary oedema with a normal heart size should alert one to the possibility of diastolic failure (image).
		In predominant diastolic failure, with normal chamber volume, LV may already be operating on flat portion of pressure-volume curve and any reduction of central blood volume may simply reduce stroke volume without a significant change in LVEDP.
		In systolic failure aim is to reverse cause of impaired contractility and to increase stroke volume.

	Cardiac failure
		- failure leads to a reduction in blood ejected with each beat and increase in blood remaining after systole
		- in severe myocardial dysfunction, cardiac output can only be maintained by an increase in venous pressure and sinus tachydcardia, further depressing ventricular function and leading to accumulation of pulmonary interstitial and alveolar fluid -> dyspnoea; venous hypertension also causes hepatic enlargement, ascites and dependant oedema
		- systolic failure is related to coronary artery vascular disease and ischaemic heart disease, particularly myocardial infarction
