متن کاملCardiomyopathy in Women: Second Heart Failure
Heart failure is characterized by the inability of the heart to maintain sufficient cardiac output (CO) to meet the metabolic demands of the body.

Therapeutic strategies for addressing heart failure have been developed primarily based on studies of male p...
