The author sees the thoracic attack as a consequence of left ventricular weakness, which is the first stage of insufficiency. In such weakness, a sudden increase in resistance in the peripheral circulation or a sudden increase in blood flow to the heart, moments that increase the work of the latter, can cause an increase in the residual blood in the left ventricle, its distension and an increase in intraventricular pressure.
