How does water effect congestive heart failure?
increase in water will increase the blood pressure. high blood pressure usually precipitate the heart failure. Congestive heart failure on the other hand usually start with left ventricular failure and finally also cause the right ventricular failure. Patient will congestive heart failure usually will be given diuretic medication to remove excess water in their blood.
What has the author Paul A Spence written?
Paul A. Spence has written: 'Pulmonary artery balloon counterpulsation for right ventricular failure during left heart assist'
What conditions are contraindicated for myocardial resection?
right heart failure, elevated left ventricular enddiastolic pressures, and pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the circulation around the lungs).
What is ARVC?
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
What is the icd9 code for right ventricular hypertrophy?
right ventricle hypertrophy
What are some treatments for congestive heart failure?
an abnormal condition that reflects impaired cardiac pumping. its causes include myocardial infarction(MI), ischemic heart disease(IHD) and cardiomyopathy. failure of the ventricles to eject blood efficiently results in volume overload, ventricular dilation and elevated intracranial pressure(ICP). increased pressure on the left side of the heart causes pulmonary congestion; increased pressure on the right side causes systemic venous congestion and peripheral edema(swelling of arms and feet). -->thoughtfulobserver
True or false right heart failure causes a back up of blood into pulmonary circulation?
false RHF causes backup into the systemic circulation
What disease affects both the circulatory and respiratory systems?
Left ventricular failure affects the heart as well as the lungs. Chronic fibrosing alvelolitis may affect the right side of the heart. It is then called as cor pulmonale.
What is the physiology of ventricular tachycardia?
A rapid heart rate can originate in either the left or right ventricle. Ventricular tachycardia which lasts more than 30 seconds is referred to as sustained ventricular tachycardia
Which vessel of the heart receives blood during the right ventricular systole?
Right ventricular systole is pumping blood into the PULMONARY ARTERIES just as left ventricular systole is pumping blood into the AORTA -- both at the same time.Source: http://library.med.utah.edu/kw/pharm/hyper_heart1.htmlIn right ventricular systole, the blood enters the pulmonary trunk before proceding into the pulmonary arteries.
What vessels provides right and left ventricular afterload?
The aorta and the pulmonary arteries provide right and left ventricular afterload. Afterload is the resistance the blood loaded into the heart when it tries to leave.
What are the four defects in tetralogy of fallot?
Pulmonary Atresia (or Pulmonary Stenosis) Right Ventricular Hypertrophy Ventricular Septal Defect Overriding Aorta
