Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In systolic dysfunction,the ventricle is unable to contract with enough force to eject blood effectively during systole.As the ejection fraction decreases (50% to 70% is normal),tissue perfusion decreases and the client develops activity intolerance.Stroke volume and oxygen saturation do not increase with a low ejection fraction.
