Definition
• Inability of the heart to supply blood to meet metabolic demands of tissues resulting in inadequate tissue perfusion and volume overload
![Page 3: Heart Failure 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813643550346895d9dbccd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Heart Failure
• Implies “biventricular failure”
• Origin usually left sided
• Left ventricle (LV)enlarges capacity, muscle size & shape = “ventricular remodeling”
• LV weakens decreased ejection of blood, decreased stroke volume, decreased cardiac output

Incidence
5 million cases660,000 new cases/yearMost common discharge diagnosis age >65

Causes of Heart Failure• Myocardial infarction• Pulmonary embolism (RV failure)• Cardiomyopathy (both RV & LV failure)• Mitral insufficiency (LV failure)• Aortic regurgitation/stenosis (LV failure)• Hypertension (LV failure)• Volume overload• Myocarditis• Infections/toxins
![Page 6: Heart Failure 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813643550346895d9dbccd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Mechanism of Failure• Decline in cardiac function decreased cardiac
output• Drop in cardiac output decreased ejection
fraction• Ejection Fraction= percentage of blood left
ventricle pumps out with each beat– Normal= 55-70%– <40% = impaired function

Compensatory Mechanisms
![Page 9: Heart Failure 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813643550346895d9dbccd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Etiology
• Cardiac Output dependent on:– Preload: amount of blood in left ventricle (LV)– Afterload: pressure against which LV must eject– Contractility: strength of contraction– Coordination of contraction between atria/ventricles– Heart Rate: amount of time available for filling and
emptying ventricles
![Page 10: Heart Failure 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813643550346895d9dbccd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
![Page 11: Heart Failure 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813643550346895d9dbccd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Systolic Dysfunction“Poor Contraction”
• Heart enlarges/does not contract normally
• Decrease in muscle strength (thin walls)
• Forward blood flow decreases systemic hypoperfusion
• Stroke volume & ejection fraction decrease (EF<40%)
• Pulmonary congestion
![Page 12: Heart Failure 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813643550346895d9dbccd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Diastolic Dysfunction“Impaired Filling”
• Inability of the ventricle to fully relax
• Increased pressure & volume in ventricle
• Pressures back up to pulmonary veins pulmonary congestion
• Stroke volume reduced
• Echo: normal EF?, left atrial enlargement, pulmonary hypertension, heart wall abnormalities, right ventricular dilation
![Page 13: Heart Failure 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813643550346895d9dbccd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Assessment
• History of symptoms
• Limits of activity/response to rest
• Peripheral pulses: quality, character
• Inspect/palpate precordium for lateral displacement of point of maximum impulse
• Sleeping patterns/sleep aids
![Page 17: Heart Failure 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813643550346895d9dbccd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

![Page 20: Heart Failure 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813643550346895d9dbccd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Goal: improve ventricular dysfuncton & prevent progression
![Page 21: Heart Failure 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813643550346895d9dbccd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Management• Inotropes
– Improve contractility, stroke volume, ejection fraction, cardiac output
– Increase myocardial oxygen consumption– Dobutamine, milrinone, digoxin
• Biventricular pacing: cardiac resynchroniztion therapy (CRT). Synchronizes LV systolic function so that LV walls contract at same time
![Page 22: Heart Failure 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813643550346895d9dbccd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Management• Reduction of Afterload
– Decrease in resistance of blood, valves, blood vessels
– Decreases work of left ventricle– Improved contractility, stroke volume, cardiac output
• Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (captopril, enalapril)
• Calcium Channel Blockers (nifedipine,verapamil)• Beta Blockers (metoprolol)• Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs) (valsartan,
losartan)
![Page 23: Heart Failure 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813643550346895d9dbccd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Management• Reduction of Preload
– Diuretic therapy• Loop Diuretics: lasix, bumex• Thiazide Diuretics: hydrochlorothiazide• Potassium Sparing: spironolactone, triamterene
– Venodilators (nitroglycerin)– Fluid & sodium restriction
