    Extractions: CNN Medical Unit ROCKVILLE, Maryland (CNN) A pacemaker device that could help up to half of all heart failure patients live a more active life was approved for marketing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Tuesday. The device is Medtronic's InSync Biventricular Pacing System. "The device was shown to markedly improve patient's quality of life and their functional capacity, and by functional capacity I mean that they were able to exercise longer and they were able to perform more of their activities of daily living," said Dr. William Abraham of the University of Kentucky, who conducted a major study of the device. He presented his findings at a meeting of the American College of Cardiology in March. Heart failure is the most rapidly growing form of heart disease in the United States. Some 5 million people have it and as many as 700,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.

Heart failure doesn't mean your heart has stopped working or that you are having a heart attack. Heart failure is also called congestive heart failure, or CHF. "Congestive" means fluid is building up in the body because the heart isn't pumping properly. Return to top Heart failure has many different causes. Sometimes the exact cause can't be found.

    Extractions: Prompt diagnosis may affect prognosis Amy C. Bales, MD, Matthew J. Sorrentino, MD VOL 101 / NO 1 / JANUARY 1997 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE This is the first of four articles on congestive heart failure Preview : Dyspnea on exertion is a well-recognized symptom of congestive heart failure (CHF) but is nonspecific in that it can also result from pulmonary diseases, obesity, anxiety, and other conditions. Physical examination findings can be similarly nonspecific in cases of CHF. However, establishing the diagnosis as either systolic or diastolic heart failure and determining the underlying cause are important, since treatment can reverse the disease in some cases. The authors describe the conditions that lead to this progressive disease and summarize cost-effective patient evaluation. A n estimated 2 million Americans have congestive heart failure (CHF). Each year, nearly 500,000 new cases are diagnosed (1) and about $10 billion goes to direct healthcare expenditures (2). CHF morbidity and mortality rates are high; after onset of clinical symptoms, patients often have a marked decline in quality of life and functional status, and more than a third die within 2 years (1). The clinical syndrome of CHF occurs when cardiac dysfunction prevents adequate perfusion of peripheral tissues. Inadequate perfusion leads to stimulation of compensatory mechanisms, which are responsible for many of the clinical signs and symptoms of the condition. The different forms of heart failure are listed in table 1. The most common of these and the focus of this article is systolic heart failure, caused by contractile failure of the myocardium. Diastolic heart failure (see article

    Extractions: VOL 109 / NO 4 / APRIL 2001 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE More and more people are surviving heart attacks, and many are able to live healthy, normal lives. Sometimes, however, heart attack survivors face another challenge down the road. The problem is called heart failure. The name is misleading because it sounds as though the heart has quit doing its job altogether. Fortunately, that's not the case. The heart is still working, but it isn't able to pump enough blood to meet the needs of all the tissues and organs in the body. Sometimes, people who have heart failure don't even know it until the problem progresses to a more serious form, called congestive heart failure. The term "congestive" refers to a fluid buildup that occurs when the heart gets behind in its work. With less blood leaving the heart, the returning blood gets backed up and the resulting increase in pressure causes seepage into surrounding tissues. This can lead to swelling, usually of the legs, ankles, or feet. In some cases, fluid seeps into vital organs, such as the lungs and liver. When fluid builds up in the lungs, breathing is difficult. What causes the problem?

    Extractions: The heart is a muscle that acts as an automatic pump to circulate blood throughout the body. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition in which the heart's function as a pump is inadequate to meet the body's needs. A poor blood supply resulting from CHF may cause the body's organ systems to fail. When the heart's pumping action is inadequate as a result of CHF, the blood "backs up" (becomes congested) behind the heart. This congestion can lead to fluid accumulation in the lungs and body tissues. CHF is a grouping of clinical findings rather than a specific diagnosis or a single disease. CHF can be considered a symptom of impairment of the pumping action of the heart that is caused by an underlying disease. CHF can be broadly divided into categories depending on the underlying heart condition present. The strength (forward pumping function) of the heart may be impaired (so called systolic dysfunction) due to illnesses that cause heart muscle weakness or the ability of the heart to relax and fill may be impaired. Additionally, in some cases, although the pumping action of the heart may be intact, other factors due to abnormal demands by the body's tissues may make it difficult for the heart to supply an adequate blood flow (called high output heart failure).
