|
LV: exertional dyspnea, cough, orthopnea, fatigue, PND
|
|
Essentials of DX of RVHF
|
RV: hepatomegaly, dependent edema; usually due to LV failure
|
|
Definition of HF
|
Syndrome, not a disease, resulting from cardiac disorders (structural or functional) that impair the ability of the ventricle either to fill w/blood (diastolic dysfunction) or eject blood (systolic dysfunction). Cardiac output not enough to meet the body’s metabolic needs.
Evidenced by signs & symptoms of inadequate tissue perfusion & volume overload. Main manifestations are dyspnea and fatigue (exercise intol.), and volume overload (peripheral edema & pulm. congestion). Develops after an insult to the myocardium initiates the process of remodeling |
|
Which 2 HF are treated diffrently?
|
Systolic vs. diastolic (ID’s difference in dysfunctions requiring different tx.) & therefore of prime importance to differentiate in diagnosis
Ischemic vs. non-ischemic (not really treated differently) High-output vs. low-output (similar to systolic vs. diastolic) Right-sided vs. left-sided (ID’s symptom etiology, but not really treated differently) |
|
Eitology of Systolic HF
|
Results from decreased contractility
Ventricles lose ability to eject blood into a high-pressure aorta Contributing factors: CAD (primary cause), MI HTN Valvular insufficiency Diabetes Dilated cardiomyopathy (viral or alcoholic) |
|
Eitology of Diastolic HF
|
Results from restriction in ventricular filling
Stiffness of ventricle Ventricular hypertrophy Contributing factors: HTN (primary cause) CAD Renal disease Diabetes valvular stenosis |

|
L to R shunting will cause:
Cyanotic or Acyanotic HD |
Acyanotic
