Topic Name: Right sided Heart Failure
vi
Statistics:About 6.5 million adults in the U.S. have heart failure. Heart failure was a contributing cause of 1 in 8 deaths in 2017
Etiology: Ischemic Heart Disease is most common etiology due to repeated episodes of hypoxia. Other major causes include, HTN
(hypertension), COPD (Chronic Obstructive pulmonary disease), and obstructive pulmonary disease
d
Pathophysiology: The right ventricle is weak and has difficulty pumping all of its blood forward into the pulmonary artery. The ventricle’s
e
inability to pump its contents forward causes a backup of blood, raising hydrostatic pressure within the right heart chambers. Unejected blood
ar
accumulates in the right ventricle, increasing pressure within the ventricle, which in turn causes increased backward pressure in the right atrium.
