This heart failure NCLEX review with give you mnemonics on how to remember the causes of heart failure and the different types of heart failure, such as left-sided or right-side heart failure. I also discuss the pathophysiology of both left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction along with right-sided dysfunction. Signs and symptoms of heart failure affecting the left-side are pulmonary in nature with the patient experience, dyspnea, crackles, orthopnea, and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. Whereas, the signs and symptoms of right-sided heart failure are peripheral in nature with the patient experiencing swelling of the liver, hands, feet, abdomen nocturia, and jugular venous distention. Tests used to diagnose heart failure include a blood test called BNP, echo-cardiogram, heart catheterization, chest x-ray, or nuclear stress test. Left-sided heart failure is the most common type of heart failure and can lead to right-sided heart failure. Patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction have low ejection frions (EFs) compared to patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction who may have a normal ejection frion.
