TEST BANK
True/False Questions
- According to recent data, heart failure afflicts 38 million people worldwide and 6.5 million in the United States.
- In “Systolic Heart Failure,” the myocardium (heart muscle) of the ventricular walls is weakened, the ventricles are dilated, and their contracting power is impaired.
- In “Diastolic Heart Failure,” the ventricular walls are thickened and stiff with less blood volume than normal, and though the ventricle pumps out 50% or more of the blood volume, the amount ejected with each contraction is less than normal.
- The lifetime risk for heart failure is approximately 20%.
- Age specific incidence rates of heart failure are higher in women than men.
- The annual incidence of heart failure is increasing, and the annual prevalence is decreasing.
- The rate of hospitalizations for heart failure has increased fourfold in the United States since 1970.
- In developed nations, 20-40% of HF patients die with one year of diagnosis, and over 50% die within 5 years of diagnosis.
- Heart failure in underdeveloped nations is primarily due to predisposing infectious diseases.
- Heart failure in developed nations is primarily due to predisposing chronic diseases.
