16
Q

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

A

inherited autosomal dominant trait
1. elderly individuals
2. HTN usual in older adults
3. LVH
4. no pressure or volume overload
5. non uniformed
6. L ventricle > 1.5cm
7. left ventricular outflow obstruction
compromises forward flow and increases afterload, resulting in hypertrophy and dilation

17
Q

hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
diagnostic

A
  1. EKG- LVH, AF, vent arrhythmias
  2. ECHO-LVH enlarged atria, elevated EF, and Hyperdynamic
  3. Cardiac MRI- confirm hypertrophy
  4. myocardial perfusion study- septal wall ischemia
  5. cardiac cath - supports diagnosis and neg for CAD
18
Q

HCM
Signs and Symptoms

A
  1. dyspnea
  2. chest pain
  3. syncope common
  4. coronary artery bridging one or more arteries tunnel through the myocardium
  5. S4
19
Q

Stress cardiomyopathy

A
  1. Takoitsubo “broken heart”
  2. increase in catecholamine surge
  3. 2/3 report stressful event
  4. LV rounded ampulla
  5. myocardial stunning not following ischemia
  6. predominantly affects women postmenopause increased with neuro and psychic disorders
20
Q

Stress cardiomyopathy
diagnosis

A
  1. EKG
  2. ECHO- LV atypical dyskinesia
  3. ST elevation anterior t wave inversion
  4. signs and symptoms atypical of ACS
21
Q

Cardiomyopathy Diagnositic
Testing

A
  1. non invasive immaging and labs-
    CXR, EKG, CBC, CMP, TSH, BNP, UA
  2. ECHO- reduced LV proceed to 3
  3. If the stress test is negative, order
    *lexiscan, dobutamine stress test, and stress echo. If normal, proceed to 5. If 7. abnormal procede to 4
  4. L and R heart cath
  5. Cardiac MRI
  6. Myocardial biopsy
  7. transesophageal echocardiogram - if valvular abnormality cardiovert
22

1. alleviate symptoms
2. prevent ventricular remodeling
3. extend survival
drug therapy
BB

alternative; ace /arb/arn not tolerated

23
Q

angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor

A

first-line therapy
examples: captopril, lisinopril, enalapril ramipril and quinapril
* first-line agent when EF < 40%
improves mortality and morbidity, exercise tolerance
* improves EF
* reduce ventricular remodeling
* reduce afterload
* reduce preload
* reduction of aldosterone secretion
PT should be euvolemic can cause aKI, dry cough, angio edema , FETAL TOXIC

24

Examples:
Losartan, Irbesartan,Candesartan
ARB antagonist of angiotension II
indication: refractory treatment with ace/bb aldosterone inhibitor
expensive
caution in use with vasodilators

25
Q

Angiotension Receptor Neprilysin

A

ARN I
example: Entresto
inhibits neprilysin, breaks down bradykinin, is a potent endothelium vasodilator, and is a mild diuretic
* selective blocks binding of angiotensin ll to AT receptor
expensive
Blocks RAAS system
maintains hemostasis

26

decrease symptoms of overload
decrease extra cell volume

spironolactone or eplerenone

Toprol, carvedilol , metroprol
inhibits the sympathetic nervous system
increase beta receptor sensitivity
anti-arrhythmic properties
antioxidant properties
decreases remodeling
improves contractility and blocks adrenaline
* hold or decrease in HF

31
Q

cardiac glycoside

A

Digoxin
2nd line for CHF in AF
positive inotrope = alter force and contraction
negative inotrope= effects HR
restores vagal tone
abolish sympathetic overactivity
adverse: toxicity , N /V psychosis
bigeminy av block brady
need digabind HD not effective

32
Q

vasodilator

A

Nitroglycerin:
angina,lowers preload
Pulm congestion
nitroprusside:
Decrease preload and afterload
* Use in ICU can cause cyanide poising
Adverse reaction:
Hypotension and thiocyanate toxic

33
Q

Inotropes

A

Milrinone:
increase myocardial contractility
vasodilating effect

Dobutamine:
stimulate beta adrenic receptors
produce + inotrope response produce mild vasodilation in smaller doses
