215. Left heart failure causes hypoxemia due to: (more than one applies: not a perfect question with only one answer but you can imagine a permutation of this with some of these options for multiple disorders) a. Decreased [Hb] b. Decreased compliance of the lung c. Increased compliance of the lung d. Decreased hemoglobin saturation e. Decreased diffusion across the respiratory membrane f. Decreased saturation of Hemoglobin g. Hypoventilation due to inspiratory muscle fatigue h. Hypoventilation due to expiratory muscle fatigue i. Decreasing the functional residual capacity j. Increasing the functional residual capacity

Step 1
This can lead to a decrease in the amount of oxygenated blood being delivered to the body's tissues, resulting in hypoxemia (low oxygen levels in the blood). a. Decreased [Hb]: Left heart failure does not directly cause a decrease in hemoglobin levels. Hemoglobin Show more…

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.

17. A decrease in afterload between heart beats, with constant EDV and contractility, would result in all of the following in the next beat EXCEPT? a. increase in stroke volume b. increase in end systolic volume c. decrease in peak left ventricular pressure d. increase in ejection fraction 18. The R wave of the ECG coincides with the beginning of which of the following period? a. atrial systole b. isovolumic contraction c. rapid ejection d. isovolumic relaxation e. rapid ventricular filling 19. You hear an S3 sound when you listen to the heart of a 50-year-old patient. What is the most likely diagnosis? a. Patent ductus arteriososis b. Aortic stenosis c. Mitral stenosis d. Congestive Heart failure e. Cardiopulmonary murmur 20. The following measurements were obtained in a male patient: Heart rate: 70 beats/min; Pulmonary vein [O2] = 0.3 mL O2/mL; Pulmonary artery [O2] = 0.2 mL O2/mL; Whole body O2 consumption: 500 mL/min; What is this patient's cardiac output in l/min? a. 2.00 b. 4.00 c. 5.00 d. 3.00 e. 6.00

Mitral valve stenosis is a condition whereby the mitral valve narrows. Which of the following would be a consequence of this condition? (Consider your answers based on the condition alone, not the subsequent compensatory mechanisms). Select all that apply. Group of answer choices: Peripheral (systemic) edema Increased aortic pressure Pulmonary hypertension Pulmonary edema Decreased left heart ejection fraction Decreased right heart end-diastolic volume Increased left ventricular end-diastolic volume Reduced coronary arterial pressure
