Right sided heart failure

Question 9

This side is usually a low pressure system, so when this happens the pressure in this side rises and venous return can’t enter

Answer 9

RIGHT-SIDED HF

Question 27

Are you use primarily to restore the balance between the oxygen supply and demand of the heart

Answer 27

ANTIANGINAL DRUGS

Question 28

These drugs dilate the coronary vessels to increase the flow of oxygen to the ischemic regions. Other than that, they also decreased the workload of the heart so the organ would have less demand for oxygen
