All right, that's aha this question about a 50 -year -old male patient.
00:05
Okay, so the heart is a double pump, as we know.
00:08
Therefore, each side can initially fail independently of the other.
00:12
Okay, so our left side can fail while our right side is still going, and vice versa, our right side can fail while our left side is still going.
00:19
Okay? so let's talk about the right side first.
00:21
So the right side of the heart, sorry, let's start with the left side versus the left side were to fail.
00:28
So if the left side were to fail, something called pulmonary congestion occurs.
00:31
And whenever we hear the world pulmonary, we think of our lungs.
00:35
This is because the right side of the heart continues to propel blood to the lungs, but the left side does not adequately eject the returning blood into this, into our systemic circulation.
00:45
Therefore, the blood vessels in our lungs become engorge with blood.
00:48
The pressure with them will increase, and then food leaks from the circulation into the lung tissue, which causes a pulmonary edema...
