Question
One of the patient’s discharge diagnoses is diastolic dysfunction which is a A. decline in performance of one or both ventricles of the heart when it is contracting to propel blood out of the heart. B. condition that occurs when the lungs cannot remove all of the carbon dioxide the body produces. This causes body fluids, especially the blood, to become too acidic. C. decline in performance of one or both ventricles of the heart when it is relaxed and filling with incoming blood that is being returned from the body through the inferior and superior vena cavae. D. heart valve disorder of the pulmonary valve which separates the right ventricle of the heart and the pulmonary artery.
Explanation / Answer
Diastole is the relaxation phase.
Cardiac cycle can be divided into three phases:
1.Auricular diastole and ventricular diastole- the atria remains in relaxed condition , where blood is filled up from their respective veins into atria.
2. auricular systole and ventricular diastole- auricles contract pushing the blood into ventricles, which are in relaxed condition.
3. ventricular systole and auricular diastole- ventricles contract pushing the blood from heart. Auricles relax, receiving the blood.
Option C (decline in performance of one or both ventricles of the heart when it is relaxed and filling with incoming blood that is being returned from the body through the inferior and superior vena cavae)
