Afterload and HTN: How does hypertension affect afterload? What would be the consequences for the heart? Why might someone with long-standing hypertension develop heart failure? correct answersAfterload is the resistance the heart must overcome eject blood from a given chamber. Hypertension increases afterload because the heart must generate more force to overcome the increase in blood pressure. This could create afterload for the left ventricle (if it is systemic hypertension) or the right v...

Most common cardiomyopathy? Most common cause: correct answers - Left heart failure (chronic HTN) - Ischemic Cardiomyopathy - Ischemia or HTN What is CHF? correct answers -Clinical syndrome resulting from any structural or functional i...
