Q

What is the pathophysiology of heart failure?

A

*Increased workload → problems with cardiac muscle
*Left ventricle typically fails first → can lead to right ventricle failure

  • reduced CO
  • decreased perfusion
  • blood backed up in pulmonary vessels
  • SOB, foamy cough
  • pulmonary hypertension
  • increased workload on R ventricle
  • volume overload
  • venous congestion, peripheral edema, ascities
  • ventricles dilate to try to compensate
  • activation of RAAS and neurohormonal responses to compensate
