Preload is the stretching of cardiac myocytes prior to contraction. With preload comes a law of physiology called Frank Staring’s law. Starling’s law describes…

caused by any systemic or functional impairment of ventricular filling or blood discharge (Yancy et al., pp. 246, 2013), for instance, from injury to the myocardium causing decreased CO. Patient X’s HF is due to IHD, hypertension and smoking. Valvular disease, cardiomyopathy, infections and diabetes can also cause HF. As CO decreases, dyspnoea, peripheral oedema, ascites and fatigue may occur. There are several compensatory mechanisms which occur due to decreased CO (Kemp & Conte, 2012). The…
