Answer 2

pericarditis

Question 3

Answer 3

pluses paradoxus; cardiac tamponade

Question 4

when there’s a building of fluid around a structure.

Answer 4

pericardial effusion

Question 5

Typically, sequelae of other disorders such as syste
matic infection, trauma, open heart surgery,
metabolic derangement or cancer.

Answer 5

pericardial diseases

Question 6

rarest form of cardiomyopathy.

Answer 6

restrictive cardiomyopathy

Question 7

can’t relax the V
enough to fill properly and so they have diastolic heart failure as it impairs diastolic function. Non
compliant rigid ventricles that impairs diastolic filling. Decreased CO and left sided HF can result

Answer 7

restrictive cardiomyopathy

Question 8

Thickened hyperkinetic ventricular muscle mass. The septum often effected and being so thickened will disrupt blood flow.

Answer 8

hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Question 9

You see the dilation of one or both V’s, may be related to alcohol toxicity, pregnancy,
postviral myocarditis, or genetic abnormality. Can slowly progress from one ventricular failing to biventricular
failure with low EF (<40%

Answer 9

dilated cardiomyopathy

Question 10

external compression of heart due to excess volume-a liter or more around the heart

Answer 10

cardiac tamponade
