L'insuffisance cardiaque chronique (par comparaison à l'insuffisance cardiaque aigüe) se caractérise surtout par le fait que l'organisme, en raison d'une évolution progressive lente, peut développer des processus de compensation (accélération du rythme cardiaque, dilatation des cavités cardiaques, augmentation du volume sanguin, augmentation de la tension artérielle, par exemple), qui peuvent compenser, pendant un certain temps, la diminution de la capacité de pompage du cœur. À ce stade, on parle d'«insuffisance cardiaque compensée», et les symptômes précités se manifestent à peine ou seulement en cas d'effort physique plus intense. 2, record 1, French, - insuffisance%20cardiaque%20compens%C3%A9e
