Lymphatic circulation and heart failure

Abstract
Objective: to summarize current knowledge about the interactions between the lymphatic/cardiovascular systems and interstitial tissue, which are associated with heart failure (HF). The authors attempt to answer the fundamental question of whether lymphatic insufficiency is a cause or consequence of HF. Understanding lymph formation processes in HF will allow finding new ways of treating HF.
