pump failure (systolic or Diastolic).
Systolic Failure: impaired contraction. Poor cardiac output, Ejection fraction 40%. CHFEE).
Causes:IHD, M1, cardiomyopathy.
·
Diastolic Failure:impaired relaxation. Poor ventricle filling, EF preserved (HFPEE).
Causes:ventricular
hypertrophy, obesity, Constrictive Pericarditis, Tamponade/effusion.

Congestive Heart Failure:combo of Right / Left-sided HF.

Diagnosis:
ECG:any abnormality, especially (V hypertrophy.
CXR:cardiomegaly, pulmonary oedema, Interstitial edema, pleural effusion.
