Abstract

The histological features of the lung are diverse when considering the processes that compromise the cardiac pump. The organic impairment of the heart can occur due to one of the following mechanisms: loss of blood; irregular heartbeat; flow obstruction; regurgitation; contractile impairment (systolic failure); or inadequate filling (diastolic failure).
