heart failure Flashcards
what is acute heartfailure or HF
its a gradual change in the signs and symptoms of HF that results in the urgent need of treatment
what is chronic hf
shows the persistent and progressive nature of the disease
what is heartfailure
its a complex clinical syndrome that increases the risk of clinical signs and symptoms of pulmonary or systemic congestion
Whether a patient with HF has systolic or
diastolic dysfunction depends on what
ejection fraction
reasos for left ventricular dysfunction
myocardial loss
uncontrolled hypertension
volume overload
impaired contractility
what is the main cause of right ventricular dysfunction
left ventricular dysfunction
other causes of right ventricular dysfunction
increase in the amount of blood in the ventricle
increased pressure in the liver
abdominal pain
dysplasia
compensatory mechanisms
frank starling mechanisms
remodeling
neurohormonal activation
Myocardial tension that
responds with an increase in cardiac output is what
frank starling mechanism
important risk factors for heart failure
hypertension
diebetes mellitus
metabolic syndrome
Atherosclerotic insufficiency
signs and symptoms of left ventricular dysfunction
symptoms
hemoptysis
tachycardia
exertional dyspnea
proximal nocturnal dyspnea
signs
pulmonary edema
pleural effusion
cheyne-stokes respiration
signs and symptoms of right ventricular dysfunction
symptoms
abdominal pain
anorexia
nausea
hempotysis
swelling
signs
peripheral edema
jugular venous swelling
abdominal jugular reflex
hepatomegali
reasons for exercise intolerance
poor perfusion in exercising muscles
insufficient cardiac output
skeletal muscle dysfunction
obesity
what are the noninvasive cardiac imaging
chest xray and 2d doppler EKO
Nonpharmacological approaches to treatment of heart failure
pateint education
treatment of sleep disorders
physical activity
cardiac rehab
