==== "Left", "right" and mixed heart failure ==== One historical method of categorizing heart failure is by the side of the heart involved (left heart failure versus right heart failure). Right heart failure was thought to compromise blood flow to the lungs compared to left heart failure compromising blood flow to the [[aorta]] and consequently to the brain and the remainder of the body's systemic circulation. However, mixed presentations are common, and left heart failure is a common cause of right heart failure.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ucsfhealth.org/conditions/heart_failure/signs_and_symptoms.html|title=Heart Failure: Signs and Symptoms|publisher=UCSF Medical Center|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407080141/http://www.ucsfhealth.org/conditions/heart_failure/signs_and_symptoms.html|archive-date=7 April 2014|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
