The patient asks why lung problems caused a heart problem, cor pulmonale. What
response is best?
a. Left ventricular failure causes pulmonary venous congestion and pulmonary
edema.
b. Pneumothorax causes compression atelectasis, decreased alveolar ventilation,
and impaired oxygenation.
c. Increased resistance to pulmonary arterial flow leads to compensatory right
ventricular hypertrophy.
d. Impaired ventilation causes decreased PaO2, which precipitates cardiac
dysrhythmias. - Correct Answer-C. Increased resistance to pulmonary arterial flow
leads to compensatory right ventricular hypertrophy
