How well do you know about heart failure? Most people are of the notion that heart failure involves the heart-stopping to beat for no reason, but in a real sense, heart failure occurs as a result of the heart not getting enough blood to pump to the other organs or lacking the force required to pump out the blood. Take this trivia quiz and test your understanding of this condition.

Loss of muscle mass- ischemia, infarction
Volume overload- CKD, pregnancy (higher blood volume)
Pressure overload- HTN, pulmonary HTN
Dilated Cardiomyopathies- idiopathic, toxic, infx
Restrictive- HTN, hypertrophic CM, infiltrative disease (amyloid, sarcoid, SLE)
Constrictive- pericarditis (inflammation of pericard), tamponade (less space)
