Congestive Heart Failure Case Study

I would suspect M.K. to have Congestive heart failure. In Congestive heart failure (CHF) the heart is unable to pump enough amount of blood to meet the metabolic demands of the body at rest or during physical activity. The amount of blood exiting out of the heart is reduced, which leads to inadequate blood flow and inadequate transportation of oxygen to organs and tissues across the body (decreased tissue perfusion). Due to the decreased tissue perfusion, the body acts as if a hemorrhage has taken place to cause the inadequate perfusion and activates some normal, compensatory mechanisms. However, the outcome of these complex mechanisms like the release of norepinephrine, activation of the SNS and dilation of the cardiac chambers could increase
