Explain the physiological changes that occur in the heart when there is a diagnosis of chronic heart failure.
A) Chronic heart failure leads to cardiac muscle undergoing hypertrophy, where the walls of the heart chambers increase in size and undergo structural remodeling in an attempt to generate more forceful contractions.

C) Chronic heart failure leads to weakness of the aorta, which slows the movement of blood from the left ventricle to the body.
D) Chronic heart failure leads to weakness of the pulmonary semilunar valve, which slows the movement of blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
