| Abstract: | Adaptation or compensatory mechanisms generally conceal the clinical signs at the beginning of heart failure (Starling's law). When these mechanisms are exceeded, heart failure may be objectivated: there is an increase in the left ventricular diastolic pressure, and if failure is severe, cardiac output decreases. These haemodynamic changes affect preload and afterload and are responsible for the clinical signs of heart failure. |
