Heart failure is a serious morbid state characterized by the heart's inability to pump blood effectively and with the right pressure.
The result of this inability is the reduced oxygenation of organs and tissues of the human body and the impairment of the quality of life.

Typically, cardiologists divide the numerous causes of heart failure into at least 3 categories, which are: mechanical alterations, myocardial diseases and electrophysiological dysfunctions.
The typical symptoms of heart failure are: dyspnoea, recurrent fatigue and edema in the lower limbs.
An accurate diagnosis of the problem is important, above all because it allows to identify the precise triggering causes.
Therapy depends on the causes and can be pharmacological, medical and / or surgical.
