FRAGMENTO
INTRODUCCIÓN
El tratamiento moderno de la insuficiencia cardiaca (IC) no puede limitarse al alivio de los síntomas. Los procesos que contribuyen a la disfunción del ventrículo izquierdo pueden progresar en forma independiente al desarrollo de los síntomas (Figura 1). El tratamiento instituido para prevenir o retrasar la progresión de la disfunción ventricular izquierda puede, por lo tanto, ser diferente del requerido para aliviar los síntomas o mejorar la calidad de vida del paciente. En virtud de que los síntomas de IC sólo guardan una ligera relación con la severidad de la disfunción ventricular izquierda, la evaluación del riesgo del paciente y la elección de la terapéutica más adecuada requiere del conocimiento de los mecanismos tanto de la disfunción del ventrículo izquierdo como de la constelación de síntomas que constituyen la IC. aunque la disfunción en sí misma está estrechamente ligada a la mortalidad.
