WorksheetsAH HF Week 1 Part 2
Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 17mins
Contractility is decreased with:
Acidosis
Alkalosis
Medications that decrease contractility
(a)
(blank) and (blank) tissue decrease contractility
(a)
What is an example of a positive inotrope?
(a)
What is an example of a negative inotrope?
(a)
Besides positive inotropes, what else increases contractility?
(a)
The causes of HF are divided into what two subgroups?
(a)
HF is described as being accompanied by (blank), (blank), and (blank) EF
(a)
Most common:
Preserved HF
Mid-range
Reduced
Left ventricle loses ability to generate enough pressure to move blood through the aorta =
Systolic
Diastolic
HF with reduced EF caused by:
MI
Cardiomyopathy
Increased afterload: HTN
LV hypertrophy: HTN
Valvular disease
HF with preserved EF caused by:
Ischemia
Cardiomyopathy
Increased afterload: HTN
LV hypertrophy: HTN
Valvular disease
Mixed HF caused by:
Biventricular failure
Cardiomyopathy
High pulmonary pressures
EF less than 35%
Valvular disease
Inability of the ventricles to relax and fill during diastole
Preserved
Mid-range
Reduced
Preserved EF with HF results in decreased (blank) and (blank)
(a)
Diagnosis of HF with preserved EF is based on the presence of HF symptoms with an EF of (blank)% or greater
(a)
You will see what two symptoms with HF w/ preserved EF:
(a)
Seen in disease states such as dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)
(a)
(blank) nervous system activation, (blank) responses, ventricular (blank), and ventricular (blank) are all compensatory mechanisms to maintain CO
(a)
Which is the first but least effective compensatory mechanism for HF?
(a)
