Cardiac output bellows the normal level E. Thyroxin increase the heart rate 3.The mechanisms of paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea resulted from left heart failure may be(acde) A. When patient lies down, more blood returns to heart from his lower limbs. It makes pulmonary congestion and edema become more severe B. Frothy sputum blocks air tract
C. When patient lies down, his diaphragm is raised and vital capacity reduces obviously D.

Blood flow rate 5. The main mechanisms of excitation contraction coupling dysfunction include(bde) A. Increased uptaking Ca 2+ by the sarcoplasmic reticulum B. Acidosis C. Hypokalemia D. Decreased concentration of norepinephrine in myocardium
E. Depressed activity of ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ⅳ. Questions to be answered briefly detail Case: A-60-year-old man sustained a hypertension for 30 years. During the past 2 years, he becomes progressively more breathless on exertion. During the past 1 week, he can t sleep flat and resort to sleeping while sitting up. Chest X-ray revealed marked boot shape heart. And pulmonary venous congestion was observed. Questions: 1.Which side of the heart failure did the patient suffer from? Why? 2.Why the patient can t sleep flat? 3.What is the mechanism of this dyspnea? Answer:
1.Left side heart failure. Because of hypertension can evaluate the pressure load of left ventricle. It is orthopnea.increasing breathlessness on lying flat, called orthopnea.it mainly results from pulmonary congestion and edema due to the decreased pump function of left heart. The mechanisms of orthopnea are involved in: 1when patient lies down, his diaphragm is elevated, it leads to an obvious decrease of the vital capacity and impairment of ventilation; 2when patient lies down, more blood returns to heart from his lower limbs. It aggravates the pulmonary congestion and edema. So, the patient with severe heart failure can t lie at horizontal position, but is compelled to take a position of sitting.
