Few days ago appeared the attack of inspiratory short breath with death anxiety. The ambulance was called, diagnose was “cardiac asthma”. On examination: arterial pressure: 155/120 millimeters of mercury, by roentgenoscopy- dilatation of left ventricle of heart. What forms of heart activity pathology has a patient? What caused its development? Is it connected with ventricular overload? What? Overload with volume or pressure? What is a trigger mechanism of contractile myocardial function by its overload?

Patient B., 60 years old, was hospitalized with the diagnosis "Myocardial infarction". On examination: cold and cyanotic skin. Respiration is frequent, superficial, arterial pressure 90/60 mm Hg, pulse - 110 beats / min (normal 60-90 beats per minute). The patient is transferred to the intensive care unit. 4. What other causes except myocardial infarction can cause this type of TPP? 5. Describe the mechanism of development of this TPP in the patient. STDDO
