Question #10 has multiple questions.  Type your answers A-G in the box below. Opus’ condition continues to worsen and he suffers an infarction of the left ventricle, resulting in acute congestive heart failure. Answer the following:  (Point totals for each question are stated;  12 points total) A.  Will the acute pulmonary edema INCREASE or DECREASE the ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) within the left ventricle?  [Write your Increase or Decrease answer below.  (1 point)] B.  Will the acute pulmonary edema INCREASE or DECREASE perfusion through the coronary arteries?  (1 point) C.  Describe how the pulmonary edema and the pressure change within the left ventricle will effect blood perfusion through the coronary arteries to the subendocardial plexus. (2 points) D.  Will the acute pulmonary edema INCREASE or DECREASE oxygen diffusion in the lungs?  (1 point) E.  Describe how the pulmonary edema will effect lung oxygenation. (2 points) F.  If Opus’ condition worsens and he develops cardiogenic shock, list three specific ways the body will respond in an attempt to improve cardiac output?  (3 points)  G.  Briefly explain how the compensatory mechanisms you listed above (d) might result in a harmful manner to the patient.  (2 points)
