Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is the end-stage scenario common to all different types of cardiomyopathies. It is characterized by an imbalance between the oxygen delivered by the cardiac output and the need of peripheral organs and tissues [1]. However, the clinical picture, the time course of its occurrence, and its treatment can vary according to the different underlying diseases.
