Question

A patient is diagnosed with pulmonary disease and elevated pulmonary vascular resistance. which form of heart failure may result from pulmonary disease and elevated pulmonary vascular resistance

Answer 1

The heart failure that would result from this would be right heart failure. This failure would only affect the right part of the heart where it does not pump blood onto the lungs as do when it is in normal state. Common cause would be high blood pressure present in the pulmonary arteries which would increase the work of the right ventricle.
