Module 15 : Dilated and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathies Flashcards
definition of cardiomyopathy CMO
- primary disease of the myocardium
- excluding myocardial dysfunction due to ischemia or chronic valve disease
what are the 2 classifications of CMOs
- 1st physiology
- 2nd etiology
what are the 4 main types of CMOs
- dilated
- hypertrophic
- restrictive
- other
what are 2 main characteristics of dilated CMO DCMO
- biatrial and biventricular dilation
- ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction of the LV and RV
what are 2 main characteristics of hypertrophic CMO. HCMO
- idiopathic asymmetric hypertrophy of heart
- hypertrophic hyper dynamic non dilated left ventricle
what are 3 main characteristics of restrictive CMO RCMO
- increased resistance to ventricular filling due to lack of compliance
- heart failure with increased LVEDP, LAP
- global systolic function preserved
what are 3 main characteristics of other CMOs
- arrhythmogenic RV dysplasia
- LV non compaction
- idiopathic
what is dilated CMO called when there is no known cause
- idiopathic dilated CMO
what will all 4 chambers of the heart look like with dilated CMO
- all 4 may be dilated
what will the systolic and diastolic function be of the LV and RV with dilated CMO
- reduced CO and EF
- elevated LVEDP
- grade 3 DD
what are the 8 main causes of DCMO
- infectious
- toxic
- peripartum
- metabolic
- genetic
- endocrine disease
- idiopathic
- stress induced
what are 3 infectious causes of DCMO
- viral myocarditis
- parasitic
- AIDSq
what are 3 toxic causes of DCMO
- alcohol abuse
- chemotherapy
- drugs
what is perpartum DCMO caused by
- immune system reaction
what is metabolic DCMO caused by
- thiamine deficiency
what is genetic DCMO caused by
- x linked familial disorder
what are the 3 causes of endocrine DCMO
- hypothyroidism
- hyperthyroidism
- pheochromocytoma
what are the signs and symptoms of DCMO related to CHF
- Low BP, fatigue, weaknes
- peripheral cyanosis
- dyspnea/SOB
what are 5 other symptoms of DCMO related to underlying disease
- chest pain
- palpitations
- afib/PVCs
- wet cough
- embolic events
what are 4 complications of DCMO
- systolic embolization
- sys-synchrony of contraction
- cardiac death
- consequences of underlying disease
what will the ECG look like with dCMO
- sinus tach
- conduction defects
- LVH (large QRS complex)
- afib
- LAE
- ventricular arrhythmias
what 2 characteristics will an X-ray have of DCMO
- cardiomegaly
- pulmonary congestion
what are the 2 different treatments of DCMO
- medical
- surgical
