Heart Failure Flashcards

1
Q

left heart failure: signs and Sx

A

signs: bibasilar pulmonary crackles, tachycardia (due to SNS and Epi/NE from adrenal), S3, pedal, ankle or leg edema
Sx: dyspnea on exertion progressing to dyspnea at rest, orthopnea, PND (paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea), fatigue

Q

right heart failure: signs and Sx

A

signs: pedal, ankle or leg edema (buildup of venous back pressure), jugular venous distension, hepatomegaly, ascites
Sx: edema of feet, then ankles, then legs, abdominal distention

Q

How do left HF patients develop edema?

A

ventricular dilation and myocardial hypertrophy -> decreased CO -> decreased renal perfusion -> increased Na retention -> increased osmotic pressure -> increased ADH -> increased water reabsorption -> edema

Q

hemodynamic classifications of HF

A
  1. warm and dry (goal)
  2. cold and dry (inadequate perfusion; need vasodilator)
  3. warm and wet (congestion; need diuretics)
  4. cold and wet (congestion and inadequate perfusion; need vasodilators and diuretics)
17
Q

distributive shock

A
diffuse vasodilation
warm and dry
decrease: preload and after load (primary)
increase: CO
sepsis, anaphylaxis, TSS
18
Q

obstructive shock

A
obstruction
cold and clammy 
increase: preload and after load 
decrease: CO (primary)
cardiac tamponade and pulmonary embolism
19
Q

cardiogenic shock

A
ventricular failure
cold and clammy
increase: preload and after load
decrease: CO (primary)
acute MI, HF, valvular dysfunction, arrhythmia
20
Q

hypovolemic shock

A
loss of blood
cold and clammy
decrease: preload (primary) and CO
increase: after load 
hemorrhage, dehydration, burns
21
Q

signs of shock

A

elevated serum lactate
hypotension (remember to adjust for people with HTN)
behavior: disorientation, confusion, obtundation
skin: mottled, cold, clammy, pale or cyanotic
urine: decreased output
