smoking
hypertension
overweight
diabetes mellitus
valvular heart disease
26
Q

The most common structural correlate with heart failure.

A

myocardial infarction

27
Q

Chronic heart failure is most frequently caused by

A

old myocardial infarctions (often multiple)

28
Q

ischemic cardiomyopathy

A

aka Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease; progressive heart failure secondary to ischemic myocardial damage

29
Q

Heart failure that typically lowers the ejection fraction.

A

Heart failure due to aortic stenosis, severe hypertension or CAD.

30
Q

Heart failure that typically preserves the ejection fraction.

A

Heart failure due to left ventricular hypertrophy, restrictive cardiomyopathy or pericardial disease. Transient myocardial ischemia can do this too.

31
Q

Non-congestive heart failure

A

There aren’t any! All heart failure is congestive.

32
Q

_____ heart failure is associated with cardiomegaly.

A

Most

33
Q

Cardiomegaly due to heart failure is caused by _____ more often than thickening of the walls.

A

dilation of the chambers

34
Q

The most common symptom of heart failure.

A

Dyspnea

35
Q

Pulmonary edema occurs when pulmonary venous pressure exceeds ___ mmHg.

A

20

36
Q

The condition in which one pillow is sufficient to prevent paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea.

A

One-pillow orthopnea

37
Q

Two most common symptoms of heart failure.

A

Dyspnea

Fatigue

38
Q

Two most specific symptoms of heart failure.

A

Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea

orthopnea

39
Q

Signs of heart failure

A
tachycardia
tachypnea
hypotension
pulmonary crackles
pulmonary wheezing
diaphoresis
gallops
40
Q

Tachycardia is a compensatory response to

A

reduced ejection fraction

41
Q

When pulmonary venous pressure exceeds ____ mmHg, transudate passes not only into the interstitium but also into airspaces.

A

25

42
Q

Crackles are (CHOOSE: inspiratory OR expiratory) sounds attributed to _____.

A

inspiratory; popping open of small airways occluded by edema

43
Q

Crackles are first heard _____

A

at lung bases

44
Q

cardiac asthma

A

wheezing caused by edema around large airways from hear failure

45
Q

Diaphoresis can be a sign of heart failure due to _____ stimulation

A

sympathetic nerve

Chest xray findings of _____, _____, and _____ can help heart failure diagnosis.

A

cardiomegaly
pulmonary vascular congestion
interstitial or alveolar edema

47
Q

Level of ____ correlates with the severity of heart failure.

A

BNP

48
Q

BNP causes
