If a person were to eat a diet that provided carbohydrate, fat, and micronutrients, but very little 
protein, for example if he or she ate only whole-wheat pita bread with olive oil, 
 body would manufacture amino acids to make essential proteins from fatty acids and glycogen. 
 metabolism would decrease to conserve amino acids until protein intake was resumed. 
 liver would recirculate amino acids instead of breaking them down and excreting urea. 
 body would break down muscle tissue to provide...

Which of the following would be the earliest auscultatory finding in left ventricular failure (LVF)? 
A. Crackles
