Abstract

Heart failure is a clinical syndrome where the heart is unable to perform blood pumping at an adequate rate to maintain the metabolic needs of tissues, due to the decrease in ventricular ejection. However, congestive heart failure is a syndrome that affects animals with chronic heart disease, leading to an inability to maintain cardiac output due to the excessive use of mechanisms compensatory effects of the cardiovascular system. Among the main cardiac disorders, valvular endocardiosis stands out, which is characterized by nodular thickening of the valve leaflets. degenerative process, not associated with infectious or inflammatory agents, being a disease of chronic and progressive course.
