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) |
