How does myocardial infarction lead to heart failure?
Myocardial infarction (MI) can lead to heart failure in numerous ways. First of all, early on, the heart muscle does not contract well because it is not receiving enough oxygen and other necessary substrates, so stroke volume is decreased, which may lead to congestive heart failure. Later on, if the MI is aborted with thrombolytics or with a cardiac catheterization and thrombectomy, the myocardium may be stunned, or hibernating, because of the lack of oxygen, and may return to normal function over time. If the MI completes, the portion of cardiac muscle that was affected is dead. Depending on how significant a portion that is, losing the muscle alone may result in heart failure. The dead portion of the heart will later turn into a scar, which is noncontractile and also does not allow for the normal stretch, so it may affect preload and contractility in that way as well, decreasing cardiac output and possibly leading to congestive heart failure.
Do people with alcoholism die of congestive heart failure?
Chronic alcoholism can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy which consequently can result in congestive heart failure.
Does untreated severe hypertension eventually lead to congestive heart failure?
yes
What is the difference between Chronic Heart Failure and Congestive Heart Failure?
Congestive Heart Failure means your heart is not functioning properly and is unable to pump effectively. Which leads to build up esecially in the extremites and can lead to shortness of breath, which usually leads to a shorten life. While Chronic Heart Failure if not managed properly with regular exercise and diet, can lead to a heart attack.
Can congestive heart failure cause lung nodules?
Yes, congestive heart failure can cause lung nodules. Lung nodules often lead to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, also called COPD.

Can dogs die from heartworm?
Yes, these worms can damage heart valves and heart muscle and otherwise simply impede blood flow by being in the way all of which can lead to congestive heart failure.
What can Heart Failure lead to?
Heart Failure can lead to heart disease,heart attack and death.

Can Cor pulmonale lead to heart failure?
This condition can lead to heart failure
What is congestive heart failure?
Congestive heart failure is when both the left and the right ventricle cannot function anymore. it'll lead to the low cardiac output and reduce in venous return. People with this problem classically will present as having lower limb/ sacral edema and also pleural effusion (fluid in lung). You can imagine the heart as a box which is so packed with sand that you can neither fill it in with sand anymore nor remove any sand from the box. Symptoms of congestive heart failure also consist of shortness of breath with simple tasks, coughing or inability to breathe when lying flat, chest discomfort and the feeling like you have a chest cold although you do not otherwise feel sick. There are other warning signs that vary from patient to patient.
