Q

What type of cardiomyopathy?

Dyspnea
Angina
Fatigue, syncope, palpitations
Mild cardiomegaly
S4 gallop
Sudden death common
HF

A

Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy

-diastolic dysfunction
-risk of sudden death in young athletes
-thickened left ventricular wall

17
Q

Treatment options for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy

A

Treat HF symptoms, beta blockers, mitral valve replacement, digoxin, nitro

18
Q

What type of cardiomyopathy?

Dyspnea and fatigue
R sided HF
Heart block
Emboli
S3 and S4 gallops
Mild to moderate cardiomegaly

A

Restrictive cardiomyopathy

-diastolic dysfunction
-rigid ventricular walls
-least common type

19
Q

Treatment options for restrictive cardiomyopthy

A

Treat HF & HTN symptoms, exercise restrictions

20
Q

Levels for BNP testing

B-type natriuretic peptide

A

less than 100 = normal
100-300 = mild heart failure
300-700 = moderate heart failure
700+ =severe heart failure

21
Q

Signs of digoxin toxicity

A

anorexia, nausea, visual disturbances, bradycardia, changes in mental status

May cause PVCs or nearly any dysrhythmias

22
Q

Therapeutic ranges for digoxin

A

0.8-2 for dysrhythmias
0.5-1 for HF

23
Q

Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside that provides symptomatic benefits for patients w/ chronic heart failure. Benefits include: increased contractibility, reduced HR, slowing of conduction, inhibition of sympathetic activity & enhancement of parasympathetic activity. What levels need to be monitored to identify toxicity?

A

Serum digoxin and potassium levels.

Hypokalemia potentiates digoxin toxicity.

24
Q

Medications

Goal is to decrease afterload, decrease preload, and increase contractility

A

ACEis & ARBs
Beta blockers
Oxygen
Nitrates
Calcium channel blockers
Hydralazine
Diuretics

25
Q

Heart Failure Self-Management Education

MAWDS

A

Medications
Avoid NSAIDS to prevent sodium & fluid retention
Take meds as prescribed
Know purpose and side effects of meds

Activity
Don’t overdo it
Know your limits
Be able to carry on a conversation while exercising

Weight
Weigh each day at the same time on the same scale

Diet
Limit daily sodium to 2-3 grams
Limit fluid intake to 2L

Symptoms
Notify provider of any new or worsening sx

26
Q

Action alert for HF

Symptoms that could indicate worsening or recurrent heart failure

Report to provider immediately

A

-rapid weight gain (3lb in one week or 1-2lb overnight)
-decrease in exercise tolerance lasting 2-3 days
-cold sx lasting 2-3 days
-excessive awakening at night to urinate
-development of dyspnea or angina at rest
-increased swelling of feet, ankles, or hands
