PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Maximize your success on the NR 507 Advanced
Pathophysiology Midterm with focused preparation that
strengthens your understanding of complex disease processes,
cellular and systemic mechanisms of illness, and their clinical
correlations across the lifespan. It is specifically designed for
graduate-level nursing students to assess their progress in
mastering the biological foundations of disease.
Causes of left sided heart failure ✓ ✓...... ANSWER .......
systemic hypertension
left ventricle MI
LV hypertrophy
Aortic SL valve or bicuspid valve damage
Secondary to right heart failure
, Page 2 of 42
How does LV hypertrophy lead to left sided heart failure ✓
✓...... ANSWER ....... The hypertrophy is secondary to
cardiac damage resulting in an enlarged by weaker structure
that holds more blood
How does Aortic SL valve or bicuspid valve damage lead to
heart failure ✓ ✓...... ANSWER ....... damage leads to
back flow into the left atrium or ventricle after ejection
Biventricular failure ✓ ✓...... ANSWER ....... unresolved
left sided heart failure will increase pressure on the right side
of the heart contributing to right sided heart failure as well
How does heart failure progress from hypertension? ✓
✓...... ANSWER ....... - high systemic vascular pressure
causes high after load requires the left ventricle to increase
contraction force to eject the blood
- damage causes reduced ejection fraction and left ventricle
gets tired and becomes unable to eject normal amount of
blood
, Page 3 of 42
- increased amount of blood remaining in left ventricle and
increased left ventricle preload causes the left atrium
unable to eject the normal amount of blood into the left
ventricle
- blood volume and pressure backs up into the pulmonary
veins
- increased pressure will force fluid from the pulmonary
capillaries into the pulmonary tissues
What does fluid in the pulmonary tissue result in ✓ ✓......
ANSWER ....... the areas are flooded and results in
pulmonary edema and dyspnea
cor pulmonale ✓ ✓...... ANSWER ....... right-sided heart
failure
right sided heart failure ✓ ✓...... ANSWER ....... inability
of the right ventricle to provide adequate blood flow into the
pulmonary circulation
, Page 4 of 42
Causes of right sided heart failure ✓ ✓...... ANSWER .......
- pulmonary disease
- pulmonary hypertension
- RV MI
- RV Hypertrophy
- pulmonary SLV or tricuspid valve damage
- secondary to left heart failure
What is the most common cause of right sided heart failure
✓ ✓...... ANSWER ....... pulmonary hypertension
Progression of right sided heart failure ✓ ✓...... ANSWER
....... - damage causes the right ventricle to increase
contraction force to eject/unload the blood
- over time EF is reduced and right ventricle us unable to
eject the normal amount of blood
- the blood remaining in the RV increases and RA preload
increases until the RA is unable to eject the normal amount
of blood into the RA
