What are the manifestations of Right Sided HF?
- Jugular Vein Distention
- Anasarca
- Hepatomegaly

What does Left Sided HF affect in the body?
Pulmonary circulation
What occurs in Left Sided HF?
Backflow of blood to the lungs
What are the manifestations of Left Sided HF?
- Pulmonary Congestion
- Rhales and crackles
- Moist cough
- Dyspnea and orthopnea
What does the Left Sided HF cause?
Poor cardiac output
What does poor cardiac output affect?
- Kidneys
- Brain
- Muscles
PATHOPHYSIO OF RAAS
- Low Cardiac Output and Blood Pressure
- Kidneys produce Renin
- Angiotensin converts to A1
- A1 stimulates Lungs to produce Angiotensin Converting Enzyme
- ACE converts A1 to A2
- A2 increases BP and releases aldosterone
- Aldosterone promotes sodium reabsorption and water retention
Renin is converted to Angiotensin
