Question

There are several factors that affect the severity of LV failure, one of which include the predispositions of developing LV failure. Some of the predispositions that Mr. T. has his ethnicity, being African American, being somewhat overweight, his age, the older the patient is the increase of the risk, he has high cholesterol, he has a family history of HTN and MI and it also looks as if he has HTN himself. The amount of time HTN and other predispositions go untreated, also greatly influence the severity of LV failure. Amount of volume overload is also a consideration. Preload, afterload and contractility are all components that determine the amount of volume overload which has a direct correlation to the the development and severity of LV heart failure (Berman et al., 2022). If volume overload becomes chronic, it will cause LV hypertrophy which also impacts the severity of LV failure (Berman et al., 2022).
