Heart Failure Compensation

Compensation for heart failure can help in the early stages but leads to further decompensation later. Using the same mechanism that maintains homeostasis when one rises from lying flat to sitting, and standing the body uses the sympathetic nervous system, the renin-angiotensin system, and aldosterone to maintain cardiac output in heart failure.
