Document Summary
T/f heart failure occurs more in men than women. T/f right sided heart failure rarely occurs by itself. T/f when you press on the abdomen, a positive reflex is when the jugular venous pressure elevates and becomes more pronounced. Which statement is false regarding heart failure: the elderly typically have diastolic dysfunction, mitral regurgitation occurs because of the sphericity of the heart, the cardiac myocytes undergo hypotrophy leading to heart failure, adh is a powerful vasoconstrictor. How many patients die within 1 year of diagnosis: 10-20, 30-40, 40-50, 60-70% Reduced ejection fraction is associated with: systolic heart failure, diastolic heart failure. T/f a persons ability to participate in physical activity is commonly used to determine the stage of heart failure. What is not one of the common etiologies of systolic heart failure: myocardial hypertrophy, coronary artery disease, myocardial ischemia, dilated cardiomyopathy. When does dyspnea occur during lung function decline: fev < 4l, fev <1l, fev <2l, fev <6l.
