Left-Sided Heart Failure vs Right-Sided Heart Failure Pathophysiology Nursing NCLEX Review

Left-sided heart failure (systolic and diastolic dysfunction) vs right-sided heart failure: pathophysiology, mnemonics, nursing, and Next Generation NCLEX review.

In this video, you'll learn about the differences in left-sided vs right-sided heart failure, the symptoms, pathophysiology, causes, and more.

Left-sided heart failure is the most common type of heart failure, and it can be further divided into systolic vs diastolic heart failure (dysfunction). In left-sided heart failure, the weak heart allows blood to flow back into the lungs, which causes pulmonary congestion.

Systolic heart failure features a REDUCED ejection fraction, whereas diastolic heart failure has a PRESERVED ejection fraction.

Left-sided heart failure can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, crackles, orthopnea, difficulty breathing, and more.

Right-sided heart failure is usually caused by left-sided heart failure due to the increased fluid pressure backing up from the left side to the right side. This type of heart failure will cause signs and symptoms such as an enlarged liver, ascites, jugular venous distention (JVD), swelling, edema, nausea, and more.

Hello, I am experiencing ventricular failure as I key this reply. I have all of the symptoms and I must say I feel very, very unwell. I am leaving in about ten minutes to consult with my Physician… I turn 50 on the 19th of October. Wish me luck, hope I make it!

Thank you for this wonderful video! I always struggle with differentiating the two sides. Something I love about your videos is the way your mnemonics actually relate to the topic. For example, SWELLING is way more relevant to right-sided heart failure than "silly wet elephants love...." or what have you.
