Caused by a structural or functional cardiac abnormality which causes reduced cardiac output and/or elevated cardiac pressures at rest or during stress. a) True b) False 12) There is right sided heart failure and left sided heart failure a) True b) False 13) Right sided heart failure ventricles are too ___ to pump enough blood to the lungs a) Strong b) Weak c) Elastic d) Thick 14) With right sided heart failure blood builds up in the veins and ____ is pushed out into the tissues. a) Blood b) Fluid c) Fats d) Magnesium 15) The two types of left sided heart failure are systolic and diastolic a) True b) False 16) Systolic heart failure is when the ____ is to weak to pump blood out to the body. a) Right Venticle b) Left Ventricle c) Left Atrium d) Right Atrium 17) Diastolic heart failure is when the ___ ventricle is to stiff and can not relax which causes it to be difficult to fill up with blood. a) Left b) Right 18) This side of the heart receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and delivers it to the rest of the body a) Left Side b) Right Side 19) This side of the heart recieves oxygen- depleted blood from the body and delivers it to the lungs to be oxygenated a) Left Side b) Right Side 20) What lab test is used to detect heart failure? a) PTT b) Urinalysis c) BNP d) Biofire 21) What imaging studies would the provider order for someone who might have heart failure? a) EGD  b) Xray c) Colonoscopy d) EKG and Echocardiogram 22) Heart failure is due to an issue that damages or overloads the heart muscle causing compensatory mechanisms to take place to try and maintain the pumping function of the heart. a) True b) False 23) Shortness of breath, swelling, and fatigue are caused by the hearts inability to pump correctly.
