Congestive Cardiac Failure presentation and diagnosisShah Abbas
This document provides an overview of congestive heart failure (CHF), including its definition, causes, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic evaluation, and management. CHF is defined as a clinical syndrome where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It is most commonly caused by conditions that overload or damage the heart such as hypertension, heart attacks, and cardiomyopathy. Clinically, it presents with symptoms of fluid backup like dyspnea, edema, and fatigue. Diagnostic tests include chest x-rays, EKGs, blood tests like BNP, and echocardiography. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, addressing the underlying cause, and preventing complications through medications, lifestyle changes, and potentially devices
definition of heart failure, classification of heart failure, risk factors for heart failure, clinical features, general physical examination findings in heart failure
1. Heart failure is defined as a complex clinical syndrome resulting from any structural or functional impairment of ventricular filling or ejection of blood.
2. Heart failure is classified based on ejection fraction into heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
3. Common risk factors for heart failure include coronary artery disease, hypertension, and diabetes. Left ventricular remodeling occurs as the disease progresses and worsens symptoms.
4. Clinical features of heart failure include fatigue, breathlessness, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, and Cheyne-Stokes respiration. Physical examination may reveal elevated jugular venous
Heart failure is a clinical syndrome that results from any structural or functional impairment of the ventricle that reduces its ability to fill with or eject blood. It impacts over 5 million Americans with high costs of care. The key aspects are reduced cardiac output, ejection fraction, preload and afterload. Compensatory mechanisms initially help but eventually fail, leading to fluid overload and decompensation. Diagnosis involves history, exam, echocardiogram and blood tests. Treatment depends on symptoms and stages from risk factor modification to drug therapy and devices.
1) Congestive heart failure results from structural or functional abnormalities that impair the heart's ability to pump or fill with blood adequately.
2) As a result, the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, leading to a buildup of fluid in the lungs or tissues.
3) Treatment focuses on lifestyle modifications, medications such as diuretics, ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, and device-based therapies as needed to manage symptoms and improve outcomes.
Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart muscle is weakened and cannot pump blood strongly, reducing oxygen delivery to organs and tissues. It can result from conditions that damage the heart muscle or overwork the heart. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling, and cough. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms with medications like ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, diuretics, and lifestyle changes including diet, exercise, stress reduction, and fluid intake limits. Making adjustments based on monitoring for changes is important for patient counseling in congestive heart failure management.
This document provides information on heart failure including its physiology, definition, classification, etiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical manifestation, diagnosis, treatment, and differential diagnosis. It discusses the anatomy of the heart and mediastinum. It defines left heart failure with systolic and diastolic types, right heart failure, and high output heart failure. Risk factors for heart failure include aging, family history, unhealthy lifestyle, and underlying heart/lung conditions. Clinical exams may reveal jugular venous distension, lung crackles, edema. Diagnostic tests include BNP, ECG, echocardiogram, and chest x-ray. Treatment involves drugs like ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers, di

Treatment focuses on medications like ACE inhibitors, diuretics, beta blockers, and lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and stress reduction.
Heart failure results from structural or functional abnormalities that impair the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently. It can involve systolic or diastolic dysfunction. As the heart pumps less effectively, blood moves through the heart and body more slowly and pressure builds up in the heart. This prevents the heart from supplying enough oxygen and nutrients to meet the body's needs. Heart failure prevalence is increasing and is a major cause of hospitalization. Risk factors include coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes, and smoking. Symptoms depend on whether the left or right side of the heart is predominantly affected and include shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling, and irregular heart rhythms. Diagnosis involves echocardiogram, BNP levels, chest x-

This document discusses the pathophysiology of heart failure. It begins by defining heart failure and describing its causes. It then explains the body's compensatory mechanisms in response to reduced cardiac output, such as activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and sympathetic nervous system. Over time, these compensatory responses can worsen the heart's condition through cardiac remodeling. The document further describes the types of heart failure based on factors like ejection fraction and the side of the heart affected. It concludes by covering the clinical presentation and diagnosis of heart failure.
1. Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, despite normal or increased filling pressures, due to problems with the heart muscle's ability to contract.
2. Heart failure has cardiac and non-cardiac causes and can be systolic, diastolic, acute, chronic, left-sided, right-sided, or bi-ventricular.
3. Symptoms include dyspnea, fatigue, cough, edema, and general weakness. Treatment involves identifying and treating the underlying cause, lifestyle changes like diet and rest, and medications like diuretics, vasodilators, and ACE inhibitors.
Heart failure is a condition where the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It affects over 5 million Americans. The main causes are problems with the heart muscle itself or increased strain from other conditions like high blood pressure. As the heart fails, blood backs up in the lungs and legs, causing shortness of breath, leg swelling, and other issues. The body tries to compensate through mechanisms like releasing stress hormones, but over time the condition worsens without treatment. Diagnosis involves tests like echocardiograms, EKGs and blood tests, while treatment focuses on managing symptoms and underlying causes.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fractionRajat Jain
This document provides an overview of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It defines HFpEF as heart failure with an ejection fraction above 40-50%. The document discusses the epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of HFpEF. Key points include that HFpEF is more common in older women and is associated with hypertension, obesity and diabetes. The main mechanism is diastolic dysfunction leading to impaired relaxation and increased stiffness of the left ventricle.
Heart failure is defined as the inability of the heart to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It can be caused by structural or functional problems with the heart's ventricles. Heart failure is classified based on whether the left ventricle has reduced ejection fraction (systolic) or increased filling pressures (diastolic), and whether cardiac output is high or low. Treatment involves reducing preload and afterload on the heart through medications like ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta blockers, and diuretics. More advanced treatments include CRT, VADs, heart transplantation, and surgical procedures.
This document provides an overview of heart failure, including its definition, pathophysiology, types, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment options. It discusses systolic and diastolic heart failure, highlighting key differences. Medical treatments that improve survival in systolic heart failure are reviewed, including ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, spironolactone/eplerenone, hydralazine/nitrates, and ARBs. The roles of diuretics, neurohormonal activation, and beta blockers are explained. Carvedilol is positioned as superior to metoprolol based on direct comparison trials.
This document provides an overview of cardiovascular pathology. It discusses various types of heart disease including failure of the heart to pump adequately, obstructions to blood flow, regurgitation of blood back through the valves, shunted or redirected blood flow, disorders of cardiac conduction, and rupture of the heart or major vessels. Specific conditions covered include ischemic heart disease, valvular heart diseases like rheumatic heart disease and infective endocarditis, arrhythmias, myocarditis, and heart failure. The pathogenesis, clinical features, and complications of these conditions are described.

This document discusses heart failure in an orthopedic patient. It begins with definitions and classifications of heart failure, including systolic vs diastolic, left vs right sided, acute vs chronic, and low vs high output failure. It then covers the pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, lab findings, and treatment of heart failure, including medication and patient counseling.
1. Cardiac failure, also known as heart failure, occurs when the heart is unable to pump sufficiently to maintain blood flow to meet the body's needs. It can result from several cardiac causes related to problems with the heart muscle, valves, or pericardium, as well as non-cardiac causes like anemia or hypertension that overload the heart.
2. Symptoms depend on whether the left side or right side of the heart is predominantly affected but commonly include fatigue, breathlessness, and fluid retention. Signs involve findings related to congestion in the lungs or periphery.
3. Treatment involves identifying and treating the underlying cause, restricting salt and fluid intake, medications like diuretics and A
1. Mitral stenosis is most commonly caused by rheumatic fever and results in thickening and calcification of the mitral valve, reducing the valve orifice area and obstructing blood flow from the left atrium to ventricle.
2. The pathophysiology involves elevated left atrial pressure, pulmonary hypertension, and reduced cardiac output. Symptoms range from easy fatigability to pulmonary edema.
3. Physical exam findings include an opening snap, rumbling diastolic murmur, and signs of right heart failure in severe cases. Severity is graded based on orifice area, pulmonary artery pressure, and NYHA functional
This document discusses various types of valvular heart disease, including stenosis (narrowing of the valves), regurgitation (backward flow of blood through valves), aortic stenosis, aortic insufficiency, mitral stenosis, and mitral insufficiency. It describes the causes, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of each condition. Valvular diseases are generally asymptomatic for years initially but can progress to cause heart failure if left untreated. Diagnosis is typically via echocardiogram and treatment involves lifestyle changes, medications, or valve repair/replacement surgery depending on severity.

“Disease of the myocardium associated with cardiac
dysfunction”
AHA “ A heterogeneous group of disease of the myocardium associated with
mechanical and/or electrical dysfunction that usually (but not invariably) exhibit
inappropriate ventricular hypertrophy or dilatation and are due to a variety of
causes that frequently are genetic.
Cardio-myopathies either are confined to the heart or are part of
generalized systemic disorders, often leading to cardiovascular death or
progressive heart related disability”
6. DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY
•Most common type
• 5 to 8 cases per 100,000
people per year
•Distinguished by significant
dilatation of the ventricles
without simultaneous
hypertrophy
•The size of ventricular cavity
enlarges with reduced cardiac
output
•Impaired ventricular
contraction leading to
progressive left sided and later
right sided failure

ventricle. The left ventricular end-diastolic dimension was 5.9 cm, and
the ejection fraction was 26%. LV, left ventricle ; RV, right ventricle ; LA,
left atrium ; RA, right atrium.
Two-dimensional echocardiography
11. • There is marked left ventricular hypertrophy with repolarisation abnormality (LV “strain” pattern) in V5-6.
• LV dilatation has produced an interventricular conduction delay mimicking LBBB — however, this is not LBBB as
the morphology is not typical and there are small Q waves in V5-6 (the presence of Q waves in V6 rules out
LBBB).
• There are some signs of left atrial enlargement — leftward deviation of the P wave axis (positive P waves in I
and aVL, inverted in III and aVF) and prolongation of the terminal portion of the P wave in V1.
• Right axis deviation in the presence of LVH suggests the possibility of biventricular enlargement.
• The widespread downsloping ST depression may be due to LVH

dominant condition
• Occurs in men, women
and Children
• 0.05% to 0.2% of the
population in US
• 3% of death in young
competitive athletes
• Characterized by thick
ventricle
(symmetrical/asymetric
al) and hypertrophy
HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY
HCM is a clinically heterogenous, autosomal dominant heart muscle disorder due to
primarily mutations in the genes encoding the cardiac sarcomere myofillament
proteins. This culminates in the proteins altered structure and function with
myofibrillar disarray, marked ventricular hypertrophy (frequently assy metric), diastolic
dysfuction and in some patients, sudden cardiac death as its most devastating
outcome.

filling by reducing ventricular
contractility and relieving LV outflow
obstruction.
• Pharmacological management
- β-adrenergic blockers
- Antidysrhythmic medications
- Anticoagulation
- IE prophylaxis
• Cardioverter defibrilator
• AV pacing

-Endocarditis fibrosis
-Neoplastic tumor
-Post radiation therapy
-Sarcoidosis
-Ventricular thrombus
25. • RCM is common type of CMP
• Increased stiffness of the myocardium, substance
fibrosis or scaring of endocardium
• Impaired diastolic filling
• Ventricular volumes are usually normal or reduced
• Wall thickness is normal or mildly increased in some
cm
• Systolic function is typically preserved
• Poor ventricular compliance
• Intraventricular pressure rises precipitously with
small increase in volume

• Aims to improve diastolic filling
and the underlying disease
process.
• Conventional therapy for HF
and dysrythmia
• Heart transplantation may also
be a considerable
30. Arrythmogenic Right Ventricular CMP
• Occurs when the myocardium of the right ventricle
is progressively infiltrated and replaced by fibrous
scar and adipose tissue.
• Initially, only localized areas of the right ventricle
are affected, but as the disease progresses entire
heart is affected.
• RV dilates and develops poor contractility, RV wall
abnormalities and dysrhythmias.
• Palpitation or syncope may develop 15and 40 years
of age
• Should be considered in patient with VT originating
in RV (LBBB) or sudden death among young athlets.
