Can someone please help me with this cardiac question? -

these are complications of heart failure but which ones are caused by left sided heart failure and which ones are caused by right sided heart failure? thanks. mitral regugitation pulmonary hypertension hypertension myocardial infarction sleep apnea aortic stenosis COPD

mitral regugitation: left side.- pulmonary hypertension: the pulmonary hypertension causes right side failure but not viceversa, the same with sistemic hypertension.-myocardial infarction: both.- sleep apnea: left side.- aortic stenosis: non COPD: right side.-

Both MI (depending on where the damage is but mostly is left-sided) Right sided Pulm HTN Sleep Apnea COPD Left sided MR HTN AS Anything increasing the pulmonary blood pressure will cause right sided failure. Additionally many things on that list can cause left sided diastolic dysfunction which is just as serious and can be equally debilitating as systolic dysfunction.

mitral regugitation= Lt pulmonary hypertension=Rt hypertension=Lt myocardial infarction=Lt sleep apnea=Rt aortic stenosis= non COPD=Rt
