system (Karch‚ 2017). In left-sided heart failure‚ the “blood backs up into the lungs which leads to pulmonary vessel congestion and fluid leakage into the alveoli and lung tissue” (Karch‚ 2017 p.752). In right-sided failure‚ the blood backs up in the venous system‚ which may lead to liver congestion and edema of the legs and feet (Karch‚ 2017).

Pre-load can be defined as the degree to which cardiac (heart) muscle cells extend before contraction in the heart. Pre-load is one of the factors that affect the stroke volume. It directly relates to stroke volume. The way it works is that a rise in venous return to the heart raises the end diastolic volume of the ventricle which causes the muscles fibers to stretch thus increasing preload. Also‚ it increases the force of contraction of the ventricles making the heart to discharge the returned blood
