Research Notes on Right Sided Heart Failure
Heart failure, is a condition that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the heart to fill with blood or pump a sufficient amount of blood through the body. In Right sided heart failure, the exam can reveal peripheral edema, ascites, and hepatomegaly. Jugular venous pressure is frequently assessed as a marker of fluid overload, which can be accentuated by the hepatojugular reflux. Systemic venous pressure in general is elevated, and this can be seen even in veins in the hand, which are distended when dependent, but which will flatten when the force of gravity overcomes right atrial pressure. …read more from Wikipedia
