What is the pathophysiology of systolic heart failure? - ANSWER✔✔-The heart develops decreased

contractility which leads to a decreased ejection fraction. To compensate the body activates the renin-

What is the pathophysiology of diastolic dysfunction? - ANSWER✔✔-In diastolic dysfunction there is a

decrease in ventricular compliance and therefore a difficulty filling.


What are some of the conditions that can lead to decreased ventricular compliance, and therefore to

diastolic heart failure? - ANSWER✔✔-Hypertension leading to concentric wall thickening, amyloidosis

and hemochromatosis leading to chamber stiffness, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and myocardial

ischemia


How does heart failure lead to pulmonary congestion? - ANSWER✔✔-If there is left sided heart failure

there can be a back up of fluid into the lungs


What are some causes of high output heart failure, where the cardiac output is elevated, but the heart

can still not meet metabolic demands? - ANSWER✔✔-Causes of high output heart failure of wet beri

beri, hyperthyroidism, and AV malformation
