25
What is the rarest form of cardiomyopathy?
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
26
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy results from what?
Another disease which occurs elsewhere in the body
27
Typical symptoms of CHF?
weakness, SOB, edema
28
With Restrictive Cardiomyopathy the heart remains ?
small unlike all other forms
29
Clinical symptoms of Restrictive Cardiomyopathy ?
- Rarest Kind - Inhibition of diastolic filling (Diastolic Dysfunction) - Heart failure - R > L
30
Etiology of Restrictive Cardiomyopathy ?
unknown: possibly genetic
31
Pathology of Restrictive Cardiomyopathy is associated with what "myocardial" diseases ?
infiltrative amyloidosis sarcoidosis
32
At what temperature do we feel comfortable removing the cross clamp?
34 degrees Celsius
33
Deposition of abnormal substances that cause the ventricular walls to become progressively rigid, thereby impeding ventricular filling. Some infiltrative cardiac diseases increase ventricular wall thickness, while others cause chamber enlargement with secondary wall thinning.
Infiltrative cardiomyopathies
34
Increased wall thickness, small ventricular volume, and occasional dynamic left ventricular outflow obstruction describes what disease?
amyloidosis
35
A poorly understood disease that most commonly affects the lungs but can also involve almost every part of the body including the heart. Sarcoidosis is characterized by the presence of granulomas, which are ball-like collections of white blood cells that cluster around and react to a foreign substance. The inflammation associated with granulomas can damage virtually every part of the heart, including the electrical system, muscle, valves, arteries, and surrounding tissue called the pericardium.
Sarcoidosis
36
Pathology of Restrictive Cardiomyopathy that is associated with what "endocardial" diseases ?
- Loffler’s eosinophilic endocarditis | - Primary endocardial fibroelastosis
37
A form of restrictive cardiomyopathy which affects the endocardium and occurs with white blood cell proliferation, specifically of eosinophils. This type of restrictive cardiomyopathy describes what disease?
Loffler’s eosinophilic endocarditis
38
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is defined as a disease of the heart muscle which results in
impaired filling of the heart ventricles during diastole.
39
Restrictive cardiomyopathy characterized by a thickening of the innermost lining of the heart chambers (the endocardium) due to an increase in the amount of supporting connective tissue and elastic fibers. It is an uncommon cause of unexplained heart failure in infants and children.
Primary endocardial fibroelastosis | EFE
40
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy Generally gets progressivily worse. What is the 5 year survival rate?
30%
41
What are 6 pharmacologic treatments for Cardiomyopathy ?
``` Inotropes Diuretics Vasodilators ACE-inhibitors/Beta blockers Others: Angiotensin II inhibitors, Anticoagulants ```
42
Nitropruside =
Vasodilator
43
What are 5 surgical treatments for Cardiomyopathy ?
- Pacemaker - LaPlace Surgery - LVAD - Transplantation - TAH (
44
LaPlace surgical treatments for Cardiomyopathy ?
Cardiomyoplasty (historic) Batista Acorn
45
Batista Procedure Developed by Dr. Randas Batista (Brazil) in 1996
(PLV) Partial Left Ventriculectomy between both papillary muscles and extends from the appex to the mitral annulus. Mitral valve and subvalvular apparatus were either preserved, repaired, or replaced, "LV Reduction"
46
LVAD surgical treatments for Cardiomyopathy ?
Bridge to Recovery Bridge to Transplant Destination Therapy
47
Surgical remodeling for Ischemic heart Failure?
- Batista | - Left ventricular aneurysmectomy
48
Surgical remodeling for Non-Iscemic heart Failure?
Cardiomyoplasty
49
Current and Future LV Reconstructive procedure for Ischemic heart Failure?
Dor procedure
50
Current and Future LV Reconstructive procedures for Non-Ischemic heart Failure?
- Acorn (CorCap Cardiac Support Device) | - Myosplint
51
Cardiomyoplasty AKA
dynamic cardiomylasty
52
Surgical therapy for dilated cardiomyopathy in which the latissimus dorsi muscle is wrapped around the heart and paced during ventricular systole.
Cardiomyoplasty “It appears that those who can survive the operation do not need it and those who need it, cannot survive it”
53
Initial experience with the Batista procedure demonstrated what?
↑ LVEF ↑ Clinical Function Status ↓ Heart Size
54
Of 120 patients Batista reported a 22% operative mortality and 2 year survival of what ?
55%.
55
Late fatal arrhythmias plagued the Batista procedure, forcing the use of concomitant implantable defibrillators. Therefore the Batista procedure
has fallen out of favor and is no longer considered to be an appropriate option.
56
Dor procedure AKA
Endoventricular circular patch pasty (EVCPP), Shortens the Long axis Unchanged Short axis .
57
An approach to surgical LV reconstruction in the setting of postinfarction aneurysm formation
Dor procedure AKA (EVCPP)
58
The Dor procedure for ischemic heart failure can be considered for patients with ?
- Symptomatic Aneurysms - Angina Pectoris - Systemic Embolization - Malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmias
59
A net that is placed around and attached to the heart to support the damaged heart muscle and limit further enlargement. It provides passive support that reduces the stress on the ventricular wall.
The CorCap Cardiac Support Device by Accorn Treats Non-Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
60
Accorn Device Preliminary data suggest what?
Improves HF symptoms ↑ LVEF ↑ LVEDD ↑ Quality of life
61
``` Device that is composed of: -Two pads on the surface of the heart - Wire that passes through the ventricle - Placed under tension to create a bilobular shape ```
Myosplint
62
What is the ultimate treatment for heart failure?
Heart transplantation
63
What part of the recipient heart | remains with the recipient during heart transplantation?
Partial Left Atrium
64
HEART TRANSPLANTATION ACTUARIAL SURVIVAL (1982-2000) Half Life = Conditional Half Life =
Half Life = 9.1 yrs | Conditional Half Life = 11.6 yrs
