TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Treatment of Congestive Heart Failure A1 - Ciccone, Charles D. PY - 2016 T2 - Pharmacology in Rehabilitation AB - Congestive heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart is unable to pump a sufficient quantity of blood to meet the needs of peripheral tissues.1,2 Essentially, the heart's pumping ability has been compromised by some form of myocardial disease or dysfunction. The congestive aspect of heart failure arises from the tendency for fluid to accumulate in the lungs and peripheral tissues because the heart is unable to maintain proper circulation. SN - PB - F. A.
