Hello doctor!
I have the following questions, I hope to be answered by the doctor:
In the certificate of a central hospital dated January 20, 1985, it is written: Mr. Dang Minh Quang, suffering from concussion heart failure injury that deforms the chest (leading to cardiopulmonary complications). Thus, does heart failure deform the chest (leading to cardiopulmonary complications) due to trauma or disease? Sincerely thank the doctor!

Hello,
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is not able to pump enough to supply blood to meet the body's operational needs. Heart failure is the final common pathway of most cardiovascular diseases. Patients with heart failure will have reduced functioning ability, reduced quality of life, depending on the level, they will need different support.
To determine whether the above is heart failure due to trauma or disease requires medical examination, further tests to determine the cause and possibly a forensic examination if the injury is to be certified.
Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
