Questions and Answers

Which type of heart failure is characterized by a weakened heart muscle and alteration in ventricular contraction?

  • Systolic heart failure (correct)
  • Diastolic heart failure
  • Both systolic and diastolic heart failure
  • None of the above

    • Which type of heart failure is characterized by a stiff and noncompliant heart muscle, making it difficult for the ventricle to fill?

  • Systolic heart failure
  • Diastolic heart failure (correct)
  • Both systolic and diastolic heart failure
  • None of the above

    • What is the formula to calculate the ejection fraction (EF)?

  • EF = amount of blood present at the end of diastole + amount of blood present in the left ventricle at the end of systole
  • EF = amount of blood present at the end of systole - amount of blood present in the left ventricle at the end of diastole
  • EF = amount of blood present at the end of diastole - amount of blood present in the left ventricle at the end of systole (correct)
  • EF = amount of blood present at the end of systole + amount of blood present in the left ventricle at the end of diastole
