Causes of heart failure
The reasons of the various types of heart failure might vary:
- failing systole. Chronic diseases that might deteriorate or harm the heart are frequently to blame for systolic failure. These are a few instances:
- damage caused by a previous heart attack on the coronary arteries
- arrhythmias [3]
- issues with the heart valve
- failing the diastole. Conditions that make it difficult for your heart to pump blood can result in diastolic failure. Heart tissue may harden as a result of this. Diastolic failure has several causes, such as:
- elevated blood pressure
- diabetes [4]
- obesity [5]
- failure of the right heart. Heart failure on the left side frequently results in heart failure on the right. Blood builds up in the right side of your heart as the left side of your heart deteriorates, making the right side of your heart work harder. Some more factors are:
- birth defects of the heart
- lung disease that is chronically obstructive (COPD)
- embolism in the lungs
