Physiologic Definition CHF
The inability of the heart to maintain the circulatory demands of an organism associated with a rise in left ventricular pressure
Causes of Cardiomyopathy
- Ischemic
- Valvular
- HTN
- Tachycardia
- Familial Genetics
- Idiopathic
- Toxins
- Metabolic
- Infectious
- Systemic Dzs
- Allergic
- Peri-partum
- Neuromuscular
Too much of these can cause CHF
- Norepinephrine
- Angiotensin 2
- Aldosterone
- Endothelin
- Vasopressin
- TNF- alpha

* for tx, block these
Too little of these can result in CSF
- Nitric Oxide
- Kinins
- Naturetic peptides
- Immune Modulation

*for tx, increase these
What are the three hemodynamic defense systems?
1. Sympathetic Nervous System
2. Renin Angiotensin
3. Aldosterone
Sympathetic Nervous System
What is the effector and the receptor for this hemodynamic defense system?
Effector: Norepinephrine
Receptor:
- Beta (1-3)
- Alpha
Renin Angiotensin
What is the effector and the receptor for this hemodynamic defense system?
Effector: Angiotensin 2
Receptor: Angiotensin (1-2)
Aldosterone
What is the effector and the receptor for this hemodynamic defense system?
Effector: Aldosterone
Receptor: Mineralacorticoid
Sympathetic Nervous System
Which organs are involved in this hemodynamic defense system?
- Cardiovascular innervation
- Adrenal Gland
Renin Angiotensin
Which organs are involved in this hemodynamic defense system?
- Kidneys
- Lungs
- Cardiovascular
Aldosterone
Which organs are involved in this hemodynamic defense system?
- Kidneys
- Heart
Sympathetic Nervous System
What are the cardiac effects for this hemodynamic defense system?
- Increase Automaticity
- Increase Contractility
- Increase Afterload
- Myocyte death (when chronically stimulated)
Renin Angiotensin
What are the cardiac effects for this hemodynamic defense system?
- Increase Afterload
- Increase Preload
- Myocyte hypertrophy
Aldosterone
What are the cardiac effects for this hemodynamic defense system?
- increase afterload
- increase preload
- cardiac fibrosis
Syndrome
Constellation of signs and symptoms that taken together suggest presence of a specific disease
Signs
Objective features of an illness detected by a practitioner
Symptoms
Subjective features of an illness as related by the patient
Clinical Definition of Heart Failure
Clinical syndrome that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that IMPAIRS THE ABILITY OF THE HEART TO FILL WITH OR EJECT BLOOD
CHF
ACC/AHA Stage A
high risk, but no structural changes
CHF
ACC/AHA Stage B
structural changes without syndrome
CHF
ACC/AHA Stage C
structural changes and syndrome CONTROLLED with therapy
CHF
ACC/AHA Stage D
structural changes and syndrome UNcontrolled DESPITE therapy
What comorbidities are associated with Stage A of CHF?
HTN
CAD
DM
In the Staging of CHF, which stages actually have symptoms?
- Stages C and D, which is why these stages are also classified by symptoms
What is the survival rate at 7 years with symptomatic CHF?
10%
CHF
NYHA Class 1
No limitation of (day-to-day) activity
CHF
NYHA Class 2
Mild limitation of activity, improves by slowing down
CHF
NYHA Class 3
Marked limitation, improve with rest
CHF
NYHA Class 4
Severe limitation or symptoms at rest
Diastolic Heart Failure
vs.
Systolic Heart Failure
(Age, Gender)
DHF = Older and Female

SHF = Younger and Male
Diastolic Heart Failure
vs.
Systolic Heart Failure
(Morbidity and Mortality)
Both DHF and SHF have a 50% re-hospitalization rate within 6 months

- 5% annual mortality with DHF

- 10% annual mortality with SHF
Diastolic Heart Failure
vs.
Systolic Heart Failure
(Prevalence of outpatient and hospitalizations)
40% for Diastolic HF
60% for Systolic HF
What are the structural changes in the LV with DHF?
- INCREASE mass
- NO volume change
- type of hypertrophy: CONCENTRIC
What are the structural changes in the LV with SHF?
- INCREASE mass
- INCREASE volume
- type of hypertrophy: ECCENTRIC
Are there changes in systolic and/or diastolic funtion with DHF?
Decrease in diastolic function

(unable to fill)

Diastolic function changes only
Are there changes in systolic and/or diastolic funtion with SHF?
Decrease in diastolic AND systolic function

(unable to pump and unable to fill)
