CHF ( Left or Right Failure)

Hi everyone!

I have to do some student teaching on CHF and was wondering if anyone knew of a great website that explains the difference between left and right sided failure. Or, if any of you cardiac nurses can help me out, that will be great! I know that things like COPD which can lead to pulmonary hypertension can cause right sided and that left sided backs up and can eventually cause right sided. For some reason, I get so confused so any help will be much appreciated!

Only 8 weeks left till I'm done!!!!

L is for LEFT and affects the LUNGS. R is for RIGHT and affects the REST of the body.

If you think of where the blood comes from, then you'll know which parts are affected by HF.

left- blood pools into the lungs.

right- usually the rest of the body, think edema.
