Definition : Heart Failure
The si tuat ion when the heart is incapable of
maintaining a cardiac ou tpu t adequate to
accommodate metabo l ic requi rements and the
venous return . E. Braunwald
Pathophysiological state in which an
abnormali ty of cardiac funct ion is responsib le
for the fai lure of the heart to pump b lood at arate commensu rate wi th the requ i rements o f

DEFINITION OF HEART FAILURE.Criteria 1 and 2 should be fulfilled in all cases
1. Symptoms of heart failure(at rest or during exercise)
And
2. Objective evidence of cardiac dysfunction(at rest)
And(in cases where the diagnosis is in doubt)
3. Response to treatment directed towards heartfailure

EPIDEMIOLOGY
Europe
The prevalence of symptomatic HF range from 0.4-2%.
10 million HF pts in 900 million total population
USA
nearly 5 million HF pts.
500,000 pts are D/ HF for the 1
st
time each year.Last 10 years number of hospitalizations has increased.
Nearly 300,000 patients die of HF each year.

New York Heart Association (NYHA)Classification of Heart Failure
Class INo limitation :ordinary physical exercise doesnot cause undue fatigue, dyspnoea or palpita-tions.
Class
II
Slight limitation of physical activity : comfor-
table at rest but ordinary activity results infatigue, dyspnoea, or palpitation.
Class - IIIMarked limitationof physical activity : comfor-table at rest but less than ordinary activityresults in symptoms.
Class - IV
Unable to carry out any physical activitywith-out discomfort : symptoms of heart failure arepresent even at rest with increased discomfortwith any physical activity.

ACC/AHAA New Approach To The Classification of HF
Stage Descriptions Examples
A Patient who is at high risk fordeveloping HFbut has no
structural disorderof the heart.
Hypertension; CAD; DM;rheumatic fever; cardiomyopathy.
B Patient with a structural disorder
of the heart but who has neverdeveloped symptomsof HF.
LV hypertrophy or fibrosis;
LV dilatation; asymptomatic VHD;MI.
C Patient with past or current
symptomsof HF associated with
underlying structural heart
disease.
Dyspnea or fatigue ec LV systolic
dysfunction; asymptomatic
patients with HF.
D Patient with end-stagedisease Frequently hospitalized pts ; pts
awaiting heart transplantation etc

Establish that the patient has HF.
Ascertain presenting features: pulmonary oedema, exertional
breathlessness, fatigue, peripheral oedema
Assess severity of symptoms
Determine aetiology of heart failure
Identify precipitating and exacerbating factors
Identify concomitant diseases
Estimate prognosis
Anticipate complications
Counsel patient and relatives

Should be uptitrated to the dosages shown to beeffective in the large, controlled trials, and nottitrated based on symptomatic improvement.
Moderate renal insufficiency and a relatively low bloodpressure (serum creatinine 250 mol.l-1and systolicBP 90 mmHg) are not contraindications.
Absolute contraindications: bilateral renal arterystenosis and angioedema.

ACE-Inhibitors in Symptomatic Heart Failure
All patientssymptomatic Heart Failure should receive ACE-I.
A) No fluid retention, ACE-I should be given first.
B) With fluid retention,ACE-I + Diuretic
ACE-I : A) improves survival and symptoms.
B) reduces hospitalization.

It is unclear whether ARBs are as effective asACE inhibitors for mortality reduction.
In combination with ACE inhibition, ARBs may

Treatment at each stage can reduce
morbidity and mortality.
Before initiatingtherapy:

DIASTOLIC HEART

SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM

7/27/2019 All About CHF

Epidemiological studies of HF havesuggested that 30-50% of cases of HF
have preserved LV systolic function.
DHF has mortality rate equal assystolic heart failure
No guideline yet regarding the
treatment of DHF
Greenberg & Hermann 2004
Defining Diastolic Heart Failure
-
7/27/2019 All About CHF
165/180
Diastolic dysfunction refers to a condition in which
abnormalities in mechanical function are presenting
during diastole.
Diastolic dysfunction is a condition in which higherthan normal LV filling pressure are needed to maintain
a normal cardiac output.
Diastolic heart failure is a clinical syndrome
characterized by the symptoms and signs of heartfailure, a preserved EF and abnormal diastolic
function.

Condition
Coronary artery disease
Hypertensive heart disease
Valvular heart disease
Normal aging
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Infiltrative disease of the
myocardium
(amyloid,sarcoid,haemocromatosis,
lympoma)
Possible Contributory Mechanism :
Asynchronous myocardial relaxation
secondary,to ischemia or scar and
altered mechanical loading
LVH
AS leading to LVH , MS leading to reduced
filling
Impaired early filling due to reduced
compliance with associated increase in late
filling
Hypertrophy,fibrosis, and asynchronous
regional lengthening, hence impairedrelaxation.
