"decreased pumping function of the heart, which results in fluid back up in the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

HFpEF impacts what part of the ECG - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔R waves in
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
lateral leads and deep S waves in septal leads,--> think LVH
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What is systole? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔myocardium contracts and forces
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
blood out of left ventricle
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What is diastole? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔left ventricle myocardium relaxes
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and chamber fills with blood
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
"involves a thickened and stiff heart muscle, as a result, the heart does not fill
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
with blood properly, this results in fluid backup in the lungs/organs" is this HFrEF
