HFrEF and HFpEF Flashcards
1
Q
HFpef heart is
A
really thickened, hypertrophied
volume is reduced
EDV reduced, not must relaxation
2
Q
Hfref is
A
ballooned, very dilated, very large
3
Q
Hfref has a thinner wall because
A
under a lot of wall stress
dilation of LV
fluid retention, increased EDV, increased volume
4
Q
what eventually happens to Hfref
A
ESV increases so SV increases and so on growing the ventricle
5
Q
Hfpef’s wall stress is
A
offset by thick wall
6
Q
volume loading condition
A
HFref
7
Q
pressure loading condition
A
HFpef
8
Q
HFPEF has higher LVEDP at
A
any time point
9
Q
therapeutics for HFpef
A
no therapeutics available
10
Q
therapeutics for HFref
A
can decrease chamber size with exercise
drugs prevent remodeling (B-blocker, ACE, ARB)
