Question

In what condition do you get the equalization of LVEDP and RVEDP?

1) When there is a blockage in the left ventricle
2) When there is a blockage in the right ventricle
3) When there is a blockage in both ventricles
4) When there is no blockage in either ventricle

Answer 1

The equalization of LVEDP and RVEDP occurs when there is a blockage in both ventricles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equalization of LVEDP (left ventricular end-diastolic pressure) and RVEDP (right ventricular end-diastolic pressure) occurs when there is a blockage in both ventricles (option 3).

In a healthy heart, the pressure generated by the left ventricle is greater than the pressure generated by the right ventricle, due to the higher pressure in the aorta. However, in the presence of blockages in both ventricles, the pressures in both chambers become equal.

This equalization of pressures can occur in conditions such as myocardial infarction, where both the left and right ventricles may be affected by blockages.
