Exam- N5315 - Advanced Pathophysiology-
Cardiomyopathies and Heart Failure (Lecture) Qs &As
Tend to result from the neurohormonal responses to ischemic heart disease or hypertension
Correct-Cardiomyopathies tend to result from what?
Infectious disease, toxins, systemic connective tissue disorders, nutritional deficiencies, and
infiltrative disorders Correct-What are other causes of cardiomyopathies?
Affect the myocardium layer of the heart impairing contractility or restricting blood flow
through the heart Correct-What do the pathological consequences of cardiomyopathies
affect?
3 Correct-How many types of cardiomyopathies are there?
Dilated (DCM); Hypertrophic (HCM); Restrictive Correct-What are the 3 types of
cardiomyopathies?
Dilated (DCM) Correct-Which cardiomyopathy is characterized by a dilated left ventricle?

Cardiomyopathies and Heart Failure (Lecture) Qs &As
A worn out ballon; a balloon which has become over stretched and can no longer hold its
normal shape Correct-What can you compare Dilated (DCM) cardiomyopathy to?
Unable to contract sufficiently Correct-What is a dilated ventricle unable to do?
Volume overload and pulmonary edema Correct-What do people with DCM have difficulty
with?
Fatigue, dyspnea, S3 heart sound Correct-What are the clinical manifestations of DCM?
Ischemia secondary to MI Correct-DCM is most often caused by what?
Valvular heart disease, diabetes, renal failure, hyperthyroidism, alcohol use (thiamine
deficiency which decreases ATP production), cocaine use, peripartum complications, genetic
disorders, infection such as Coxsackle B virus, hemochromatosis, and doxorubicin toxicity
Correct-What are some other causes of DCM?
