4. the abbreviation for the heart failure classification marked by an EF>50%
5. The volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole
9. This medication is used to block SNS activation, reducing remodeling and mortality
12. The abbreviation for the standard evidence-based combination of medications used to treat heart failure
13. the side of the heart, when failing will case: JVD, peripheral edema, hepatomegaly, ascites
14. This advanced heart failure treatment is a positive inotrope that can be given in the hospital or patients can be discharged home with

1. the abbreviation for the heart failure classification marked by an EF<40%
3. The _ nervous system increases HR, contractility, and vasoconstriction in heart failure in an attempt to maintain blood pressure but eventually leads to worsening heart failure
6. _ heart failures is characterized by a weakened heart muscle that cant squeeze well resulting in less blood being pumped out of the ventricles
7. The resistance the left ventricle must overcome to circulate blood
8. the side of the heart, when failing will cause: dyspnea, orthopnea, crackles, pulmonary edema s3 gallop
10. _shock is defined as a condition in which the heart suddenly can’t pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs leading to inadequate tissue perfusion and organ failure
11. _ heart failure is characterized by a stiff heart muscle that cannot relax normally preventing the ventricles from filling normally
