23. If Eliana's heart has to work harder and harder, the ventricular muscle will stiffen inhibiting its ability to stretch properly. Which of the following could occur? A. Blood back-up in the pulmonary circuit B. Inadequate ventricular relaxation C. Increase in end diastolic volume D. A and B E. A, B and C 24. What will be the end result from your answer in question #23? A. Increased hydrostatic pressure in the pulmonary capillaries B. Net fluid movement from the pulmonary interstitial space into the capillaries C. Net fluid movement for the pulmonary capillary to the interstitial spaces of the lung D. A and C E. A, B, and C 25. After all of these problems continue, there is no proper treatment or intervention, and Eliana's condition becomes terminal, she would be diagnosed with and would require a heart transplant.
