Study Notes
Heart Failure
- Diastolic heart failure is NOT characterized by reduced ejection fraction.
- Coronary artery disease is NOT the most common cause of diastolic heart failure.
- Right-sided heart failure is NOT associated with lung congestion, but rather with peripheral edema.
- Hypertension is a common cause of diastolic heart failure, NOT systolic heart failure.
Right-Sided Heart Failure
- Causes of right-sided heart failure include pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension, and tricuspid valve disease.
Left-Sided Heart Failure
- The primary characteristic of left-sided heart failure is pulmonary congestion.
Heart Failure Causes
- Hypertension is a common cause of diastolic heart failure.
- Coronary artery disease is a common cause of systolic heart failure.
- Hypertension is a common cause of both systolic and diastolic heart failure.
Diastolic Heart Failure
- A characteristic feature of diastolic heart failure is preserved ejection fraction.
