Q

CO equation

A

CO = heart rate x edv x ef

which really means chrontropy (speed) x lusitropy (rate of myocardial relaxation) x inotrophy (squeeze amount)

Q

Frank Starling: in an ideal scenario how do sv and edv work together?

A

EDV increasing leads to increasing SV because of the stretch, allows for greater contraction

ie preload under ideal conditions

Q

What other organ systems and processes can influence HF - ie decreased cardiac output and incr filling pressures?

A
  1. Vascular: incr systemic artery tone, loss of laminar flow and impaired ventricular vascular coupling
    Microvascular and coronary dysfunction, ischemia
  2. Volume distribution or retension can lead to reduced capacitance of venous reservoirs
  3. Neurochem/autonomic activity at the brain
  4. Endocrine responses to stress
  5. Pulmonary: resp failure, decreased endc organ o2 delivery, impaired RV/PA coupling
  6. Renal dysfunction and diuretic R
  7. Coagulaopthy - abnormal RBC mass

Q

What ventricular changes may ensue specifically from diastolic dysfunction? (specific to other heart functions)

A

decreased myocardial oxygen reserve, abnormalities in nitric oxide signaling, decreased aortic and pulmonary artery compliance, decreased ventricular volume, right ventricular dysfunction, and worsening interventricular and ventricular-circulatory coupling, resulting in depressed tolerance of increased preload and afterload

Q

How does the heart compensate for its diastolic dysfunction (change in EDV) - effects what other CO parameter?

A

HR - to a degree

hence at certain point even further tachy is detrimental because the heart cannot go any further

Q

Natriuretic peptides are upregulate in heart failure - why?

A

due to changes in FS curve so that they induce natriuresis and diuresis, vasodilation and antifibrotic effects to remodel to heart

Q

How do the major classes of therapies for Acute HF work?

A

either by moving the Starling curve left- ward with diuretics or venodilators (decr preload), moving the curve upward to a higher level of efficiency for a given EDV with inotropes or arterial vasodilators (SV), or both

Q

Hepatic veins, under normal circumstances, can act like a buffer to maintain central volume in the splanchnic circulation - how does this change in HF?

A

neurohormonal mediators are chronically activated, leading to basal splancnic vasoconstriction and a reduction in the buffer capacity – so fluid shifts can happen more acutely with a “lesser” stress than normal
