Heart Failure 1 Flashcards
Define heart failure and rage types of heart failure
Contrast the causes of systolic & diastolic dysfunction
Give the clinical diagnosis of HF
Discuss the pathophysiology pic changes associated with heart failure
Outline the normal left ventricular pressure-volume loop
What is stroke volume? How do we calculate it?
What is ejection fraction? How do we calculate this?
What does ejection fraction indicate?
What are the features of systolic dysfunction?
What are the changes in left ventricular P-V loop in systolic dysfunction?
What are the compensatory changes in systolic dysfunction?
How does the compensated LV failure look on the P-V loop?
What are the pathophysiology changes associated with heart failure?
Define & give the features of diastolic dysfunction
What are the changes in left ventricular P-V loop in diastolic dysfunction?
