Explain why/how R sided heart failure will eventually result in L sided HF?

Expert Solution

When the heart is healthy ,it pumps blood through out your body .But if you have heart failure, the muscles of the heart will gradually becomes weak and it will not get sufficient blood supply.

The left ventricle of the heart takes most of the initiative to pump blood. So when you have left sided heart failure, the heart cannot pump enough blood that body requires.

The right ventricle shift the used blood from heart back to lungs to resupplied with oxygen. But if you have right sided heart failure, then right chamber lost its ability to pump blood and blood diverts to veins.

The main reason which leads to right sided heart failure are left sided heart failure. As left chamber of the heart loses its ability to pump blood then the blood backs up in vein even cause certain complications.The accumulation of the blood in the lungs caused by left sided heart failure Makes right ventricle to work harder.

Heart failure is a long time Condition.This mainly ccurs due to high blood pressure, coronary artery disease,lung disease etc.
