Subcompensation of Cardiac Activity

Subcompensation of cardiac activity: causes, symptoms and treatment

Cardiac subcompensation, also known as latent heart failure, is a medical condition in which the heart is unable to fully perform its function in maintaining normal blood circulation. This condition falls between compensation, when the heart can still cope with the load, and decompensation, when the heart loses its ability to pump effectively.

Cardiac subcompensation usually develops gradually and can be caused by various factors, including hypertension, coronary heart disease, valvular disease, arrhythmias, infections and other cardiovascular diseases. The gradual deterioration of heart function leads to poor circulation and the appearance of characteristic symptoms.

The main symptoms of cardiac subcompensation are fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling (especially in the lower extremities), sleep disturbances, increased sensitivity to exercise, decreased appetite and weight loss.



Subcompensation of cardiac activity is a condition when the heart is not able to fully perform its functions. This term is used to describe people who have symptoms of heart failure but have not yet been diagnosed with overt heart failure. This means that the heart is not working at full capacity and cannot provide sufficient blood supply to the entire body.

One of the main reasons for subcompensation of cardiac activity is cardiac arrhythmia. A regular heart rhythm is a necessary condition for the normal functioning of the heart and ensures good blood supply to the organ. Abnormalities in heart rhythm can lead to decreased cardiac output, which causes hypoxia and poor circulation. People who have heart problems may experience shortness of breath, weakness, fatigue, palpitations, dizziness and other symptoms.
