Q

What is congestive heart failure?

A

As blood slows out of coming out of the heart it backs up in tissues on it’s return. “Congesting” the aforementioned tissues and resulting in swelling

Q

What is cardiomyopathy?

A

Heart mucsle is abnormal; loses ability to pump effectively. Heart becomes larger to compensate for weakened condition. —> results in enlarged heart

Q

If that heart cannot contract fully, how does this affect preload?

A

There will be an increase of volume in the ventricles, raising EDV

Q

Increased afterload causes what 4 characteristics?

A

increases myocardial oxygen consumption

decreased stroke volume

in normal heart increased afterload has little affect on SV

In heart failure, small increases in afterload can have large impact on stroke volume

Q

What is restrictive myopathy?

A

The heart walls are rigid and prevent proper stretching of tissues. Loose flexibility

20
Q

What is hypertrophic myopathy?

A

Heart muscle is abnormally thick and makes it harder to pump blood. Mostly common in left ventricle.

21
Q

Myopathy dysfunctions that affect systolic pressure affect these 4 things:

A
  • Loss of contractility
  • Dilated ventricle
  • Increase in LVEDV
  • Lead to decreased ejection fraction
22
Q

Diastolic dysfunction from myopathy affect? Resulting from?

A

Impaired filling due to hypertrophy or decreased filling

Results from HTN or aortic stenosis/

23
Q

Name 3 causes of right sided heart failure?

A

Increased pulmonary resistance
Increased afterload
Low preload or poor pump

24
Q

Name 4 causes of left sided heart failure

A

Impaired contractility
Increased afterload
Low preload
Loss of myocardial tissue

25
Q

What is a common symptom of right heart failure?

A

Venous congestion!!!

26
Q

Weight gain, peripheral edema, hepatomegaly, jugular venous distention are all symptoms of what side heart failure?

A

right sided

27
Q

What is pitting edema?

A

Observable swelling of body tissues due to fluid accumulation that may be demonstrated by applying pressure to the swollen area (such as by depressing the skin with a finger).

28
Q

Dyspnea, orthopnea, nocturnal dyspnea, S3 heart sound and excessive weight gain, decreased tolerance to exercise are signs of what sided heart failure?

A

Left Heart Failure

29
Q

Pulmonary edema is when pulmonary venous pressure is above ___ mmhg?

This leads to a ______ in pulmonary compliance and _____ work of breathing.

A

> 20mmhg

decreased, increased

30
Q

Pulmonary edema often has this type of heart sound, and is common in what side of heart failure?

A

Crackles, and left heart failure

31
Q

What is the purpose of a compensatory mechanism?

A

Maintain cardiac output and arterial pressure that can perfuse the brain and heart adequately.

32
Q

The ______ of compensatory adaptations can lead to maladaptive processes leading to end stage HF.

A

Magnitude

33
Q

Compensatory Mechanisms include:
______ Increase in MAP

______ fluid retention

______ LVEDP

______ stroke volume/ ejection fraction

________ contractility

A

increase

Moderate

Increase

Decreased

Decreased

34
Q

What does decompensated HF refer to?

A

Deterioration

Reduction in exercise tolerance and increasing breathlessness on exertion

35
Q

Compensated heart failure has _____ symptoms. Fluid retention and pulmonary edema are often _____.

A

stable, absent

36
Q

What is B-type natriuretic peptide BNP?

A

Endogenous nuerohormone, maintains normal fluid state and promotes normal cardiac function

37
Q

What secretes BNP?

What prompts it’s secretion?

A

Left ventricle in response to volume expansion and pressure overload “myocardial stretch”

38
Q

What is BNP’s purpose?

A

Counter regulation of renin-angiotension-aldosterone system

VASODILATION, diuresis, while inhibits renin/angiotension system

39
Q

How many classes of heart failure are there for the New York Heart Association Classification?

A

4

40
Q

What is class I in the NY Heart association classification?

A

No limitation of physical activity

41
Q

What is class II in the NY Heart association classification?

A

Slight limitation of activity.

Example: dyspnea and fatigue with ordinary physical activity

42
Q

What is class III in the NY Heart association classification?

A

OK at rest

Symptoms of HF with less than ordinary activities.

43
Q

What is class V in the NY Heart association classification?

A

Symptoms present at rest

44
Q

How does one correct salt and water retention in regards to their preload?

A

Low sodium diet and diuretics

45
Q

How does one improve contractility of cardiac muscle and it’s performance?

A

Pacemaker, decrease of workload, B-Blockers

46
Q

How does one reduce peripheral resistance as seen in afterload?

A

Lower BP

47
Q

What 3 drugs are in the HF triple drug cocktail? and why?

A

ACE inhibitors - decrease afterload

Diuretics - decrease volume

Beta-Blockers - limit sympathetic stimulation to heart and hold HR down.
