Congestive heart failure (CHF) is not a single entity but a symptom complex that may represent the consequence of mechanical abnormalities, myocardial abnormalities, and/or disturbances of cardiac rhythm. In turn, it affects virtually every organ system in the body.

Hibernation and Congestive Heart Failure
Heart Failure Reviews, 2003The most common cause of heart failure is coronary artery disease, and whilst intensive treatment of acute coronary syndromes and myocardial infarction continue to reduce the mortality associated with these conditions, many survivors develop heart failure.

Spironolactone in congestive heart failure
Current Hypertension Reports, 2000When a large multicenter research trial is abruptly terminated, it is usually a consequence of significant adverse events. In contrast, when the Randomized Aldactone Evaluation Study (RALES) mortality trial was discontinued 18 months early, it was because of the prominent salutary effect of spironolactone, added to standard multidrug therapy consisting

Fetal congestive heart failure
Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2005Fetal echocardiography is used in the diagnosis of many forms of congenital heart disease, and in the assessment of the prognosis of cardiac lesions based on their anatomy and presentation in utero. However, the presence of signs of fetal heart failure such as hydrops or valvular regurgitation makes the assessment of prognosis more difficult.

Nitrates in Congestive Heart Failure
Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, 1994Nitrates are commonly used in the therapy of congestive heart failure (CHF). They exert beneficial hemodynamic effects by decreasing left ventricular filling pressure and systemic vascular resistance while modestly improving cardiac output. The improvement in left ventricular function caused by nitrates is the result of combined reduction in outflow ...

Unloading the Heart in Congestive Heart Failure
The American Journal of Medicine, 1984Depressed contractile performance of the heart in congestive heart failure is aggravated by increases in preload and afterload related in part to arterial and venous constriction. Vasodilator drugs have a salutary effect on left ventricular performance by reducing aortic impedance and/or increasing venous capacitance resulting in an increase in stroke ...

Epidemiology of congestive heart failure
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1985The incidence of congestive heart failure (CHF) is influenced by a variety of factors, including availability of medical care, socioeconomic status, geography, nutrition and race. The etiology of CHF in China, England, Botswana and Sweden will be examined and compared with prospective findings from Boston and Detroit.

Congestive Heart Failure in the Diabetic
Annual Review of Medicine, 1983Heart failure seems to occur in adult-onset diabetics with a greater frequency than in the nondiabetic population, particularly in women. A number of such patients do not have significant occlusive disease of the major coronary arteries, or convincing small-vessel disease.

The brain in congestive heart failure
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 1996In the present paper we discuss two issues about relationships between congestive heart failure and the brain. First, major acute cerebrovascular events are very frequent among elderly people, but stroke does not appear to be frequently associated with congestive heart failure.

Anaemia in congestive heart failure
British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2013Anaemia is common in patients with congestive heart failure, and has an adverse effect on prognosis. This article discusses the advances in understanding of the pathophysiology of the anaemia, the treatment options including transfusion, and highlights areas in need of further development.
