245 exam 1 UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Decreased cardiac output means Low amount of blood perfusing
EJF is measured by Echo
Gold standard for diagnosing HF Echo
, Systolic (HFrEF) EJF <30%
Treatment for systolic HF (HFrER) Life vest
Normal BNP <100 pg/mL
Chronic HF BNP 300-500
acute decompensated heart failure BNP >500
high BNP indicates heart failure
The heart is _____ in systolic HF Enlarged
-pine(s) do not lower HR
Signs of digoxin toxicity Stomach pain, Nausea, Confusion, Yellow vision, Bradycardia
Digoxin is given for left ventricular heart failure, ventricular dysthymias chronic atrial fibrillation and
atrial tachycardia.
Vasodilation decreases Afterload
In L side HF blood blocks l atrium

Ace inhibitors stop _____ from converting to ______ Angiotensin 1
Angiotensin 2
In Diastolic HF (HFpEF) the heart has the inability to Relax and fill ventricles
