Q&A for Cardiology Session: Heart Failure - part 4 | Hussam Alkhalifamohamed

Catch up here

Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder impairing the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood. The understanding of its causes and risk factors is pivotal for early identification, intervention, and reduction of morbidity and mortality. As medicine continues to evolve, with emerging research providing new insights, it is crucial for practicing physicians to remain updated.

The initial management depends on the presentation, hemodynamic status, and patient factors. It could also differ slightly depending on the underlying cause. Generally speaking, you usually want to target the volume overload, contractility, preload &/or afterload.
