Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Heart failure can result if there is a weakening of the heart muscle.  This may occur if there is excessive resistance to pumping (systemic hypertension, pulmonary hypertension) or if the heart muscle is damaged by an MI (myocardial infarction, heart attack).  Damaged heart valves can lead to heart failure.  Cardiomyopathy (wasting of the heart muscle), which may be caused by viral infections or for other reasons, can also produce heart failure.
