Sample item

In chronic right-sided heart failure, impaired venous outflow produces passive blood accumulation in the liver; what is this called?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

A. Passive venous blood accumulation

The core Hemodynamic disorders principle identifies Passive venous blood accumulation as the best answer because it most directly explains the biochemical pathway or tissue response described in the stem.

Option by option

  • A. Passive venous blood accumulation (correct)

    Correct. Passive venous blood accumulation is supported by the key clue given.

  • B. Tissue calcification

    Tissue calcification is relevant in another context but is not the best answer here.

  • C. Active arterial dilation

    Active arterial dilation does not match the stated hemodynamic disorders mechanism.

  • D. Cellular apoptosis

    Cellular apoptosis does not account for the central finding in this sample.
