Document Summary
Transfer of heart from one person to another. Impaired ability of ventricles to fill during diastole. Abnormal condition of impaired cardiac pumping resulting in pathophysio changes of vasoconstriction and fluid retention. Sudden attacks of resp distress that occur when patient is asleep, usually after several hours of being in a recumbent position. Acute, life-threatening situation in which lung alveoli filled with serous/serosanguineous fluid; caused most commonly by acute lv failure secondary to acute mi. Caused by defect in ability of ventricles to contract/pump, increased afterload, mechanical abnormalities. - impaired cardiac pumping/filling (to meet demands of body/ accommodate venous return back to heart). 33% mortality rate in the first year after hospitalization. 99% mortality rate in 10 years (after initial hospitalization) Cardiomyopathy; anemia; bacterial endocarditis; valvular disease: heart attack (mi) part of muscle is scared, damaged, not working at all. Ventricular septal defect; myocarditis surrounding structures for mvmt).
