Review Questions and Answers
Systolic Heart Failure - Answer-The left ventricle loses its ability to contract normally.
The heart can't pump with enough force to push enough blood into circulation.
Diastolic Heart Failure - Answer-The left ventricle loses its ability to relax normally
(because the muscle has become stiff). The heart can't properly fill with blood during the
resting period between each beat.
Right-sided heart failure - Answer-Right-sided or right ventricular (RV) heart failure
usually occurs as a result of left-sided failure. When the left ventricle fails, increased
fluid pressure is, in effect, transferred back through the lungs, ultimately damaging the
heart's right side. When the right side loses pumping power, blood backs up in the
body's veins. This usually causes swelling in the legs and ankles.
