Diagnosis: The patient seems to be suffering from Dilated Congestive Cardiomyopathy (DCM)‚ or in simple terms‚ congestive heart failure; specifically ventricular failure. Justification for Diagnosis: The patient said he had been suffering of acute dyspnea which would be caused by the lungs filling with fluid since the heart isn’t able to pump properly. Due to the patients hip replacement it is possible for him to have an infective agent even though he was said to not have one. Sometimes the disorder

heart failure has caused right-sided heart failure. Left -sided heart failure can create right sided-heart failure after an increase in left ventricular pressure is reflected back into the pulmonary circulation (Huether & McCance‚ 2012). This increased pressure stresses the right ventricle to pump against greater pulmonary and vascular resistance and left ventricular pressure (Eckman‚ 2013). A.O’s recent symptom of exceptional chest pain is likely caused from angina. To confirm this diagnosis and prevent

Blood Pressure The function of the heart is to circulate blood around the body. The heart comprises of four chambers: Right Atrium Left Atrium Right Ventricle Left Ventricle Functionally the heart comprises of two pumps: The right atrium receives blood from the body (de-oxygenated blood) and the right ventricle pumps it into the lungs for aeration (removal of carbon dioxide and add oxygen). The left atrium receives the oxygenated blood from the lungs and the left ventricle pumps

Furthermore‚ hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can be dangerous if it starts during childhood. People who suffer from this disease most of them have a family history that relates to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The third type is arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.

Case 1 A.O. is an 89-year-old woman with a long history of systolic heart failure secondary to a large left ventricular infarct when she was in her 70s. She had poor activity tolerance and required assistance with activities of daily living. Even minimal activity was associated with moderately severe dyspnea and exertional chest pain‚ which was relieved by rest.
