| | + | Right-sided congestive heart failure results in elevated central venous pressure. Manifestations of right-sided congestive heart failure are species-specific. |

| − | *Occurs when the right cardiac ventricle no longer pumps blood efficiently
| + | ===Clinical Signs=== |
| | | | |
| − | *This type of failure causes congestion (backing up of blood) throughout the veins and capillaries elevating the central venous pressure and resulting in systemic edema, hepatomegaly and jugular venous distension. The areas of systemic edema formation are species specific.
