RATED TO SCORE A+ FOR SUCCESS
when is afterload increased? - CORRECT ANSWERS hypertension, vasoconstriction
when is afterload decreased? - CORRECT ANSWERS vasodilation
What are the contributing factors to left sided heart failure? - CORRECT ANSWERS
Hypertension producing left ventricular hypertrophy, MI secondary to CAD, valve disease
(mitral and aortic)
What are the contributing factors to right sided heart failure? - CORRECT ANSWERS Left-
sided ventricular failure, right ventricular failure, MI, pulmonary disease (COPD, pulmonary
fibrosis)
What are the contributing factors to Cardiomyopathy? - CORRECT ANSWERS CAD,
infection/inflammation of the heart muscle (endocarditis, pericarditis), pregnancy,
prolonged alcohol use, and heredity
heart failure risk factors - CORRECT ANSWERS Diabetes Mellitus, hyperlipidemia,
dysrhythmias/atrial fibrillation
systolic heart failure (HFrEF) - CORRECT ANSWERS Pumping problem
diastolic heart failure (HFpEF) - CORRECT ANSWERS Filling problem
Left-Sided Heart Failure - CORRECT ANSWERS Inability of heart to generate adequate output
to perfuse vital tissues.
Impaired emptying and reduced SV --> reduced CO
Leads to pulmonary congestion due to reduced ejection fraction

Preload - CORRECT ANSWERS Volume coming into the ventricles (end of diastole)
Afterload - CORRECT ANSWERS The force or resistance against which the heart pumps.
cardiac output - CORRECT ANSWERS The volume of blood ejected from the left side of the
heart in one minute:
heart rate x stroke volume
When is preload increased? - CORRECT ANSWERS hypervolemia, regurgitation of cardiac
valves, heart failure
When is preload decreased? - CORRECT ANSWERS dehydration, diuretics
Left sided heart failure symptoms - CORRECT ANSWERS Left = lungs (and heart)
SOB or dyspnea
Pulmonary congestion (dyspnea, cough, bibasilar crackles)
Frothy sputum
Poor color, weak pulses, cool temp
Fatigue; altered mental status
Nocturia and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
Manifestations of organ failure (oliguria)
Myocardial ischemia and workload causes _________________ _________ or disruption of
normal myocardial structure ---> ____________ of myocardium - CORRECT ANSWERS
ventricular remodeling; dilation

what happens during left sided heart failure? - CORRECT ANSWERS Left ventricular
dysfunction increases blood volume in LV, increasing atrial pressure, forcing fluid into the
pulmonary tissues
Myocardial ischemia and workload
cardiomegaly - CORRECT ANSWERS abnormal enlargement of the heart
Right-Sided Heart Failure - CORRECT ANSWERS Inability of right ventricle to provide
adequate blood flow into pulmonary circulation
The most common cause of Right-Sided Heart Failure is? - CORRECT ANSWERS Left-Sided
Heart Failure - increase in left ventricular filling pressure reflected back into pulmonary
circulation
Right sided heart failure symptoms - CORRECT ANSWERS JVD
Ascending dependent pitting edema (legs, ankles, and sacrum)
Weight gain
Abdominal distension
Fatigue, weakness
Nausea and anorexia
Polyuria at rest
Liver enlargement (hepatomegaly) and tenderness
What are the key components in the cycle of heart failure? - CORRECT ANSWERS Decreasing
contractility, CO, and EF
Response of kidneys --> increased preload and increased afterload
Hypertrophy of heart
