PY - 2018 T2 - Color Atlas and Synopsis of Heart Failure AB - Congestive heart failure has been defined as a clinical syndrome that occurs when the heart is unable to meet the demands of actively metabolizing tissue without increasing filling pressures. Myocardial causes of heart failure (HF) may be systolic and/or diastolic. The versatile, noninvasive nature of echocardiography means that it plays a part in the diagnosis, determining the etiology, and noninvasive evaluation of HF guide management. This chapter will highlight the role of echo in evaluating a few cases of systolic dysfunction and diastolic dysfunction.
