Lab 2d Heart Failure, continued

Slides 2-6 & 2-7

2-6 Pitting Edema Edema of the ankles and feet is a common manifestation of right-sided heart failure. "Pitting" edema refers to the failure of the skin and soft tissue to immediately resume its normal contour upon release of pressure.
2-7 Distended Jugular Veins This patient with severe mitral stenosis is sitting upright. Note the distention of the jugular veins almost to the mandible, reflecting elevated pressures in right heart pressure.
