Pulmonary Edema
Pulmonary Edema ( 33 Questions)
Incorrect. Increased myocardial contractility would not typically lead to left ventricular remodeling but might improve cardiac function.
Incorrect. Reduced afterload on the heart may be beneficial, but it is not a primary factor in left ventricular remodeling.
Correct. Left ventricular remodeling, often occurring after a myocardial infarction, involves changes in the size and shape of the ventricle, which can impair cardiac function and lead to pulmonary edema.
Incorrect. Enhanced pulmonary vasodilation is not a primary cause of left ventricular remodeling or pulmonary edema.
A) Incorrect. Increased myocardial contractility would not typically lead to left ventricular remodeling but might improve cardiac function.
B) Incorrect. Reduced afterload on the heart may be beneficial, but it is not a primary factor in left ventricular remodeling.
C) Correct. Left ventricular remodeling, often occurring after a myocardial infarction, involves changes in the size and shape of the ventricle, which can impair cardiac function and lead to pulmonary edema.
D) Incorrect. Enhanced pulmonary vasodilation is not a primary cause of left ventricular remodeling or pulmonary edema.
