23
Q

What is heart failure?

A

Inability to meet the metabolic needs of the heart

24
Q

What is the most common cause of heart failure?

A

Ischemic heart disease and dilated cardiomyopathy

25
Q

What three factors determine SV?

A
  • Contractility
  • Preload
  • afterload
26
Q

Describe pathology of Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

A
  • Myocardial enlargement
  • Leading cause of sudden death in young athletes
  • Disrupted myocytes —> Cellular structure disorganization and fiber hypertrophy —> Thickening of ventricular wall
27
Q

How does Systolic dysfunction affect the P-V loop?

A
  • End systolic P-V loop is shifted downward and rightward resulting in DEC SV.
  • EDV is INC which INC EDP
  • DEC n SV —> DEC CO
  • INC LVEDP (Preload) —> Pulmonary edema
28
Q

What are the three compensatory mechanisms for systolic dysfunction?

A
  1. Ventricular Hypertrophy: INC Ventricular wall stress —> new myocardial sarcomere and Ventricular mass.
    - Pressure Overload —> parallel sarcomeres and INC wall thickness w/ no chamber dilation
    - Volume overload —> Series Sarcomeres and chamber enlargement/dilation
  2. Neuroendocrine response: CO declines
    - Sympathetic tone INC HR, Contractility, Vasodilation
    - RAAS INC Preload
    - ADH INC Fluid retention
  3. Frank-Starling Response: INC in Preload —> INC SV —> INC CO
29
Q

Differentiate Left and Right sided heart failure.

A

Left Heart failure: Every Person Can Touch the Chest and Pelvis 3x or 4x

Enlargement/Dilated cardiomyopathy
Pressure - HTN/Aortic stenosis
Cool skin/Cyanosis/Capuillary refill 
Tachycardia/Tachypnea - Sympathetic Tone
Cheyne-Stokes breathing
Pulmonary Rhonchi/Rales - Left atrial pressure
3rd Heart Sound
