Can I have help answering these questions

Congestive heart failure is a condition in which the strength of contraction with each beat may be significantly reduced. For example, the ventricle may pump only half the usual volume of blood with each beat. Would you expect a person with congestive heart failure to have a faster or slower heart rate at rest? With exercise? Medications are available which can slow the heart or speed it up. If a patient complains of feeling poorly and has a heart rate of 120 beats/min, should you administer a medicine to slow the rate?

Explanation / Answer

Q.No 4

A person with congestive heart failure has a rapid heart rate at rest and along with exercise. In case a lesser amount of blood is pumped during every single heartbeat, the heart will attempt to compensate by beating more rapidly.

Q.No 5

NO, because the heart might beat quickly so that you can complete other issues, like blood loss and very low blood pressure. In this case, reducing the heart along with prescription medication may result in any precipitous as well as terminal fall in blood pressure. You should not really try to adjust the heart rate before ascertaining the actual cause of the abnormality.
