Question
With LV failure, there is increased LV filling pressures -> [...] -> transmission of back-pressure -> pulm edema (d/t HTN) -> obligatory rise in driving pressure of RV to compensate (increased RV pressure) -> increased RA pressure -> increased systemic pressure
Answer
With LV failure, there is increased LV filling pressures -> increased LA pressure -> transmission of back-pressure -> pulm edema (d/t HTN) -> obligatory rise in driving pressure of RV to compensate (increased RV pressure) -> increased RA pressure -> increased systemic pressure
