Heart failure. DEFINITION. HEART FAILURE the pathophysiological state in which the heart is unable to pump blood at a rate commensurate with the requirement of the metabolizing tissues or can do so only from an elevated filling pressure.

DEFINITION • HEART FAILURE • the pathophysiological state in which the heart is unable to pump blood at a rate commensurate with the requirement of the metabolizing tissues or can do so only from an elevated filling pressure. • Usually caused by a defect in myocardial contraction (myocardial failure).
DEFINITION • CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE • Clinical manifested as • Pulmonary congestion • Systemic congestion • Inadequate tissure blood perfusion • HEMODYNAMICALLY heart failure (cardiac dysfunction) is diagnosed when • LVEDP>18mmHg or • RVEDP>10mmHg
UNDERLYING CAUSES • Primary myocardial dysfunction (systolic and/or diastolic) • Cardiomyopathy • Primary or secondary metabolic disturbances of myocardium • Overloading of heart • Pressure overloading • Volume overloading • limited diastolic function
UNDERLYING CAUSES Age 70.3±10.1 yr. Causes CHD 65.8% Hypertension 36.0% Dila. Cardiomy. 11.9% With 2°DM 14.9% Shanghai OPD, Chin J Cardiol 2001;29:644
Precipitating factors • infection • arrhythmias • Pulmonary embolism • overfatigue • Pregnancy and delivery • Anemia and hemorrhage • others
Pathophysiology • Frank-Starling mechanism • Activation of neurohormonal pathway (SAS and RAS) • Myocardial damage and remodeling • Diasatolic heart failure
CLINICAL CLASSIFICATION • A cute vs. chronic heart failure • Right-sided vs. left-sided Heart failure • Low-output vs high-output heart failure • Systolic vs diastolic heart failure • Asymptomatic vs congestive heart failure
Chronic left-sided HF :symptoms • Respiratory distress • Exertional dyspnea • Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea • Orthopnea • Acute pumnonary edema • Cough (nonproductive), and hemoptysis • Reduced exercise capacity • Fatigue and weakness • Urinary symptoms
Chron. left-sided HF :Physi. findings • General appearance • Dyspnetic • Cyanosis, icterus, malar flush, diminished pulse pressure, reduced SBP, rapid, weak and thready pulse in severe HF • Evidence of ↑adrenergic activity • Peripheral vasoconstriction (pallor, coldness of extremities and cyanosis of the digits ). • Diaphoresis with sinus tachycardia
Chron. left-sided HF :Physi. finding • Cardiac findings • Cardiomegaly • S3 gallops • Accentuation of P2 • Systolic murmur • Pulsus alternans • Pulmonary rales • Moist rales over • the lung bases • Rhonchi wheezes • ↓BS
Chron. right-sided HF :symptoms • Gastrointestinal symptoms • Symtoms of urinary system • Dull ache in right upper quadrant. • dyspnea
Chron. right-sided HF :Physi. finding • Cardiac findings • Hepatojugular reflux • Congetive hepatomegaly or tenderness • Edema • Hydrothorax and ascites • Others (cyanosis, and etc.)
Chronic HF :labolaroty findings • Routine lab. And serum electrolytes & liver function tests • ECG • Echocardiography • Chest Roentgenogram
ECG • Suggesting basic presence of basic heart diseases • Atrial and ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial ischemia or infarction , arrhythmia • V1ptf<-0.03mm/s,indicating left atrial overloading.
Echocardiogram • M mode, 2D echo and Dopler technique for systolic and diastolic function of LV • LVDd and LVDs(Dd andDs) • LV fraction of shortening (△D% =(Dd - Ds )/Dd × 100%) • mVCF =(Dd - Ds)/Dd × LVET • SV • LVEF
Chest X ray • Left-sided heart failure • cardiomegaly (cardiothorax ratio>50%) • dilated pulmonary vein • pulmonary infiltrates. • prominent bronchovascular markings • Interstitial edema, Kerley.s B line, alveolar edema, pleural effusion when PCWP>25~30mmHg. • Right-sided HF • Cardiomegaly
Invasive hemodynamic monitoring • Using Swan-Ganz cather and thermodilution method for measurement of • Intracardiac and vascular pressure • Cardiac output to asses cardiac function
Invasive hemodynamic monitoring • CVP(中心静脉压)6~12cmH2O • PAP(肺动脉压)12~30/4~l3mmHg • PCWP(肺毛细血管楔嵌压)6~12mmHg • SV(心搏量)60~70ml • SI(心搏指数)4l~51ml/m2 • CO(心排血量)5~6L/min • CI(心排指数)2.6~4.0L/min.m2 • EF(射血分数)0.5 ~ 0.6
Chronic HF :diagnosis • causes • anatomy • pathology • arrhythmia • Functional classification
Functional classification(NYHA) • Class I-No limitation: Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue, dyspnea, or palpitation • Class II-slight limitation of physical activity:Such patients are comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea, or angina. • Class III-marked limitation of physical activity:although patients are comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity will lead to symptoms. • Class IV-inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort: symptoms of congestive failure are present even at rest.With any physical activity, increased discomfort is experience.
Chronic HF :diff. diagnosis • Left-sided HF • With pulmonary dyspnea: COPD,asthma • Metabolic acidosis • Cardiac neurosis • Right-sided HF • Pricarditis • Hepatic, renal edema.
