Document Summary

An abnormal clinical syndrome involving impaired cardiac pumping and/or filling. A defect in the ability of the ventricles to contract (pump) or by increased afterload or mechanical abnormalities. Preserved systolic function; an impaired ability of the ventricles to fill during diastole. Fatigue, ventricular dysrhythmias, edema (pulmonary, interstitial, alveolar) increased respiratory rate, tachypnea, orthopnea. Mi), and mechanical abnormalities (e. g. , valvular heart disease). Biventricular failure (both ventricles may be dilated and have poor filling and emptying capacity). Low systemic arterial blood pressure (bp), low co, poor renal perfusion, increased pulmonary venous pressure, increased airway resistance, decreased arterial partial pressure of oxygen (pao2), increased arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide. Decreased ejection fraction, increased, afterload (e. g. , hypertension), cardiomyopathy, low systemic arterial blood pressure (bp), low co, and poor renal perfusion. A normal ef, low systemic arterial blood pressure (bp), low co, and poor renal perfusion. Ef (<35%), high pulmonary pressure, low systemic arterial blood pressure (bp), low co, and poor renal perfusion.
