Nonocclusive hemorrhagic necrosis of the intestine. 1974

S E Cohen, and M I Feldman, and E F Wolfman

Hemorrhagic intestinal necrosis occurs without demonstrable mechanical obstruction of the mesenteric vascular supply. The etiologic factors include (1) congestive heart failure, (2) cardiac arrhythmia, (3) dehydration, and (4) digitalis therapy with or without digitalis toxicity. All of these factors have been shown to result in a decrease in splanchnic blood flow. The outcome of this disease has invariably been fatal. Early recognition and nonoperative management directed toward increasing splanchnic blood flow are the most significant factors in the survival of patients.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
