Ischaemic heart disease Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Give a brief overview of the pathophysiology of heart failure * The mechanical and biochemical forces alter the size, shape, and function of the ventricles * The myocardial contractility is affected * The ability of the heart as a pump is affected * Not enough oxygenated blood is pumped out to meet the body's metabolic requirements * Ineffective emptying * Increased ventricular or atrial pressures * Increase in sodium and water retention, decreased cardiac output, and circulatory and pul...
