Factors That Cause a Hypoeffective Heart: Any factor
that decreases the heart’s ability to pump blood causes
hypoeffectivity.
Some of the factors that can decrease the heart’s ability
to pump blood are the following:
• Increased arterial pressure against which the
heart must pump, such as in severe
hypertension • Inhibition of nervous excitation
of the heart • Pathological factors that cause
abnormal heart rhythm or rate of heartbeat
• Coronary artery blockage, causing a “heart
attack” Figure 3
• Valvular heart disease
• Congenital heart disease
• Myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle
• Cardiac hypoxia[1].
