Chronic Heart Failure and Rheological Condition a Review Article

Abstract

Chronic heart failure represents a multifaceted clinical condition characterized by impaired cardiac contractility and/or reduced filling capacity. The prevalence of heart failure shows a strong correlation with age, varying significantly across different populations. In developed regions, the incidence of age-related heart failure has shown a slight decline, largely due to advancements in cardiovascular disease management; however, morbidity rates and long-term outcomes remain concerning. Identifying etiological factors is crucial for enhancing treatment approaches and patient outcomes. This review explores the anticipated alterations in rheological parameters, focusing on specific phenotypes and functional classes, as these factors serve as potential indicators of disease progression severity in chronic heart failure patients.
