“Understanding heart failure is an important part of maintaining cardiovascular health.

Systolic heart failure occurs when the heart’s left ventricle loses its ability to contract effectively during each heartbeat. This leads to a decreased pumping capacity of the heart, eventually resulting in reduced blood flow throughout the body. There are several factors that can contribute to the development of chronic systolic heart failure.

Diastolic heart failure, which is also known as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), occurs when the heart’s left ventricle becomes stiff and cannot relax properly during the filling phase of blood for that cardiac cycle.

Identifying and understanding the underlying causes of diastolic heart failure is essential for effective management and prevention of this condition.

One of the most common reasons of heart failure are cardiomyopathies such as the dilated or the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.”
