perfusion/heart failure Flashcards
what is heart failure?
blood keeps backing up because heart cant provide enough blood to meet O2 needs
CO & strove volume are decreased
primary risk factors of heart failure
coronary artery disease
hypertension
diabetes mellitus
advanced age, tobacco use
warning signs of heart failure
F atigue
A ctivity intolerance
C hest congestion
E dema
S hortness of breath
ejection fraction
% of blood pumped out per heart beat
normal ejection fraction
50-75%
heart failure ejection fraction
less than 50%
severe heart failure ejection fraction
less than 40%
right sided heart failure
REST of the body - blood backs up into venous system
s/s of right sided heart failure
JVD
peripheral edema
ascites
hepatomegaly
splenomegaly
fluid retention
nocturia
causes of right sided heart failure
left sided heart failure
MI
pulmonary embolism
COPD
left sided heart failure
affects the LUNGS
s/s left sided heart failure
crackles/wheezing
orthopnea
tachy
dyspnea
blood-tinged frothy sputum
tachypnea
nocturnal dyspnea
causes of left sided heart failure
MI
hypertension
coronary artery disease
left ventricle cant empty during systole or fill during diastole
heart is too stiff
systolic HFrEF
reduced ejection fraction
under 40%
HFrEF s/s
EF under 40%
pallor
cool extremities
tachypnea
nocturia
causes of HFrEFF
MI
hypertension
ventricles are stretched
diastolic HFpEF
preserved ejection fraction
s/s HFpEF
diastolic # is high (vessels arent resting)
causes of HFpEF
hypertension
older age
females
diabetes
obesity
left ventricle is too stiff& hypertrophied to fill correctly
