Abstract
Although many questions remain unanswered, it is timely to advance a concept of selective therapy based on the diverse causes of left ventricular failure. It is therefore essential to ask whether they involve abnormalities of contraction, relaxation, or perhaps both, and to design management with those differences in mind. New therapeutic considerations are discussed.Keywords
