Research Notes on Left Sided Heart Failure
Left-sided heart failure is the inability of the heart to pump enough blood to the body. It is usually caused by hypertension, hypothyroidism, excessive alcohol consumption, and chronic blockage of the heart arteries.1 The symptoms are generally respiratory in nature, which is due to the congestion of pulmonary capillaries from the left ventricular failure. Common complaints include dyspnea, easy fatigueability, and exercise intolerance.2
