,Why is cardiac tamponade a medical emergency?

a.) the heart chambers are restricted and cannot pump effectively
b.) blood in the pericardial sac will leak into the mediastinum
c.) the ventricles will weaken and result in heart failure

c.) abnormally dilated vessels
d.) decreased blood turbulence

B

What is the best description of the disease known as cor pulmonale?
a.) left-sided heart failure due to increased systemic vascular resistance
b.) right-sided heart failure due to pulmonary hypertension
c.) whole heart failure due to shunting of blood through the pulmonary circulation
