                2. Cardiac Failure
                  1. epidem: incidence up w/age, 50% dead 5y
                    1. causes: CAD (also IHD, cardiomyopathy, hypertens)
                      1. types

                                2. pathphys: compensate -> overwhelmed, activate renin/angiotens/aldost -> periph vasoconstric + sodium retain
                                  1. venous press up -> edema, outflow resist up so CO down, bad for contractility, chronic symp nervous system activation (down reg B receptors)
