Week 1: Heart Failure

​ (a)   heart failure is most commonly caused by ​ (b)   heart failure.

• Right-sided
• Left-sided
• Ventricular
• Atrial
• Mixed
• Complete

​ (a)   heart failure is the most common.

• Left-sided
• right-sided
• Complete
• Right-sided
• Ventricular
• Atrial

The inability of the ventricles to relax and fill during diastole is known as:

• Left-sided heart failure

• Diastolic heart failure

• Systolic heart failure

• Right-sided heart failure

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is also known as:

• Systolic heart failure

• Complete heart failure

• Diastolic heart failure

• Preserved heart failure

Potential causes of left-sided heart failure include which of the following (SATA):

• Impaired contractility

• Decreased afterload

• Increased preload

• Cardiomyopathy

• Mechanical abnormalities

Heart failure is the result of inadequate ventricular filling or inadequate ventricular ejection.

• True

• False

Heart Failure

Left-sided heart failure results in ​ (a)   and ​ (b)   .

• pulmonary congestion
• edema
• deep vein thrombosis
• dehydration
• dysuria
• normotension
• hyperthermia

The inability of the heart to pump blood effectively is known as:

• Right-sided heart failure

• Diastolic heart failure

• Systolic heart failure

• Left-sided heart failure

Effective cardiac compensatory mechanisms result in: (SATA)

• Increased cardiac output

• Increased urinary output

• Increased cardiac workload

• Decreased cardiac preload

• Increased cardiac preload

Select the hormones responsible for cardiac regulation: (SATA)

• Serotonin

• SIADH

• ADH

• Aldosterone

• Angiotensin
