Overview of Congestive Heart Failure

• Clinical syndrome resulting from inadequate systemic perfusion from any structural or functional disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood.
• The classic syndrome of heart failure is dyspnea, fatigue, and fluid retention.
• There are two broad categories of heart failure:

1. Systolic Heart Failure and
2. Diastolic Heart Failure.
