Left ventricular failure - what does this mean
Left ventricular failure occurs when the left ventricle of the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. this can be caused by coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, or a heart attack. it can also be caused by a weakened heart muscle, which can be the result of an infection or a genetic condition.
What happens during the disease - left ventricular failure
Left ventricular failure is a condition in which the left ventricle of the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. this can be due to a variety of conditions, including coronary artery disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, or valvular heart disease. these conditions can cause the left ventricle to become stiff and unable to fill with blood properly, leading to decreased cardiac output and ultimately left ventricular failure.
