Indicate which of the following sentences is true in heart failure caused by stenosis of the mitral valve. Group of answer choices 1)Anytime a valve is stenotic, the L atrium must generate a greater force than normal to attempt to move blood through the narrowed opening. This decreases the workload on the heart, eventually leading to an inoperative muscle. 2)Anytime a valve is stenotic, the L atrium must generate a greater force than normal to attempt to move blood through the narrowed opening into the L ventricle. This increases the workload on the heart, eventually leading to its weakening and failing. 3)Anytime a valve is stenotic, the R atrium cannot generate greater force than normal to attempt to move blood through the narrowed opening, and it fails. 4)Anytime there is valve regurgitation, the heart must generate a greater force than normal to attempt to move blood through the narrowed opening into the ventricle. This increases the workload on the heart,…
Under the microscope, I can see a section through one of the chambers of the heart. The myocardium is thick and the endocardium is very thin.
