What is a common symptom of left-sided heart failure?
A. Ascites
B. Peripheral edema
C. Pulmonary crackles
D. JVD - CORRECT ANSWER-C) Pulmonary congestion from left HF causes crackles.
Which of the following is typical of right-sided heart failure?
A. Frothy sputum
B. Orthopnea
C. Peripheral edema
,D. Dyspnea on exertion - CORRECT ANSWER-C) Right-sided HF causes systemic congestion like leg
edema.
Which compensatory mechanism is activated in HF?
A. Parasympathetic stimulation
B. RAAS activation (Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System)
C. Decreased preload
D. Vasodilation - CORRECT ANSWER-B) RAAS increases blood volume but contributes to congestion.
What is the effect of decreased contractility in HF?
A. Increased cardiac output
B. Decreased preload
C. Increased LV end-diastolic volume
D. Decreased heart rate - CORRECT ANSWER-C) Poor contractility leads to volume overload and
chamber dilation.
Orthopnea is caused by:
A. Dehydration
B. Decreased renal perfusion
C. Pulmonary congestion
D. Jugular venous distention - CORRECT ANSWER-C) Pulmonary congestion worsens when lying flat.
In HFrEF (Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction), treatment aims to:
A. Increase preload
B. Reduce afterload
C. Decrease contractility
D. Increase vascular resistance - CORRECT ANSWER-B) Reducing afterload improves cardiac output.
What symptom differentiates right-sided from left-sided HF?
A. Dyspnea
B. Pulmonary edema
, C. Peripheral edema
D. Crackles - CORRECT ANSWER-C) Peripheral edema is a hallmark of right-sided HF.

A ............................................................................................................................................................... 1
B ............................................................................................................................................................... 1
CD. IV - CORRECT ANSWER-C) Class III has marked limitation in physical activity. Error! Bookmark not
defined.
What causes paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea in HF?
A. Pulmonary embolism
B. Liver failure
C. Reabsorption of fluid into lungs while supine
D. Increased vagal tone - CORRECT ANSWER-C) Lying flat worsens pulmonary congestion, causing
PND.
What physical exam finding suggests right-sided HF?
A. S3 gallop
B. Bilateral crackles
C. Jugular venous distension
D. Cyanosis - CORRECT ANSWER-C) JVD reflects right atrial pressure elevation.
Which is a hallmark of stage D HF?
A. No symptoms
B. Heart transplant consideration
C. Normal EF
D. Mild dyspnea - CORRECT ANSWER-B) Stage D is end-stage and may need advanced therapies like
transplant.
A 70-year-old man with EF of 35% and dyspnea with exertion is classified as:
