Systolic heart failure |
Is a pumping problem |
|
|
Systolic heart failure caused by? |
Impaired contractile function Increased after load Cardiomyopathy Mechanical abnormalities |
|
|
Diastolic heart failure |
Relaxation problem |
|
|
Diastolic heart failure results from? |
Left ventricular hypertrophy “stiff” ventricle Chronic systemic hypertension Aortic stenosis Cardiomyopathy |
|
|
Left-sided Heart Failure |
Inability of the left side of the left ventricle to pump enough blood |
|
|
Right sided heart failure |
The inefficient pumping of the right side of the heart |
|
|
Ventricular dilation |
Ventricle dialation |
|
|
Compensatory mechanisms |
Increased heart rate ( sympathetic= norepinephrine) Dilation ( frank starling) =contractility Neurohormonal = redistribution of blood to the brain, fluid distribution |
|
|
How would each of these influence the cardiac output? Hypertension Coronary artery disease Cardiomyopathy Myocardial infarction Pulmonary disease Valve disorders |
Hypertension- lower cardiac out put, higher afterload |
