TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Congestive Heart Failure A1 - Rozenfeld, Ranna A. PY - 2018 T2 - The PICU Handbook AB - Heart failure is a syndrome of cardiac dysfunction that, left untreated, results in the myocardium's inability to maintain adequate cardiac output.1 It may present as systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction. With progressive dysfunction, cardiac output is further diminished, resulting in impaired oxygen delivery to the body. As a result, many patients present to the pediatric intensive care unit or cardiac intensive care unit with signs and symptoms of cardiogenic shock (see Chapter 28).
