treatment options aimed
|
minimizing exacerbations, improving quality of life, prolonging survival
|
|
|
What is diastolic heart failure?
|
dysfunction in ventricular diastole leads to abnormal filling of the ventricle
|
|
|
What is systolic heart failure
|
dysfunction in ventricular systole leads to impairment of ventricular contraction
|
|
|
Hallmarks of systolic HF
|
compromised ejection fraction, cardiomegaly, valvular disease, poorer prognosis
|
|
|
Hallmarks of diastolic HF
|
preserved ejection fraction, ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary congestion, peripheral edema, better prognosis
|
|
|
Percentage of blood in ventricle that is expelled during systole
|
Ejection fraction (EF) normal is 60, patient systolic dysfxn = 40
