pump the blood away from the heart and to the body to keep up with the incoming deoxygenated flow. This failure to pump blood can build up pressure and cause additional pumping resistance. The decreased cardiac output of heart failure causes the circulation to become backed up‚ and this is where the term “congested” comes into description. In respect to recognizing this condition in a physical assessment‚ some signs detected are from pulmonary congestion and an increased presence of blood retained

Systems Cardiovascular System - relates to the heart‚ blood vessels and circulation in the body. The cardiovascular system‚ also known as the circulatory system‚ refers to the network that transports blood throughout the body. It is composed of the heart‚ blood vessels‚ and blood. There are actually two circulatory systems: * The pulmonary circulation – sends blood from the heart to the lungs. * The systemic circulation – sends blood from the heart to all the other parts of our bodies.

forces the blood on its journey. The body’s circulatory system really has three parts: pulmonary circulation‚ coronary circulation‚ and systemic circulation. Each part must be working independently in order for them to all work together. However‚ when one of the parts of the circulatory system does not work properly‚ diseases like pulmonary hypertension arise. During a normal cycle of the pulmonary circulation‚ the veins bring waste-rich blood back to the heart‚ entering the large atrium throughout two

carried by the systemic circulation. The mass may be solid‚ liquid or gaseous. The circulation carries the embolus through vessels to parts of the body where it can cause obstruction or occlusion. The Pulmonary Embolism (PE) occurs when the embolism causes an obstruction or occlusion of the pulmonary artery or one of its branches‚ which in turn reverts pressure on the right ventricle. A solid embolus can be a thrombus‚ also known as a blood clot‚ which traveled through the circulation to cause obstruction
