Definition
• Heart failure is the term used when heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the metabolic needs of body at rest or during exercise even though filling pressures are adequate.
![Page 3: Heart Failure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556b17d5d8b42adb338b4770/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Key words
• Preload: stretch of myocardial fibres at end diastole.
• Afterload: force that the ventricle must develop to eject the blood during each contraction.
![Page 4: Heart Failure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556b17d5d8b42adb338b4770/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Key words
• Cardiac output: stroke volume X heart rate.
• Stroke volume: the amount of blood ejected from the ventricle with each contraction.

Etiology & risk factors
• Abnormal load on heart.
• Abnormal muscle function.
• Other conditions that exacerbate heart failure.

Abnormal load on heart
Overloading of the heart
Excessive stretch
Decreased contraction
Decreased cardiac output
![Page 7: Heart Failure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556b17d5d8b42adb338b4770/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Abnormal muscle function
• Muscles replaced by scar tissue eg: MI
• Externally compress the heart
• Decreased diastolic relaxation and diastolic blood pressure
• Hampers forward flow through heart.

Pathophysiology Diseased Normal
myocardium myocardium
Unable to meet the demands
Activation of compensatory system
(sympathetic stimulation fails )
Increased residual volume in left ventricle
![Page 12: Heart Failure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556b17d5d8b42adb338b4770/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pathophysiology (contd..)• Decreased ability to receive blood from
left atrium • Left atrium work hard to eject blood
• Dilation and hypertrophy
• Pulmonary edema and congestion
![Page 13: Heart Failure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556b17d5d8b42adb338b4770/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pathophysiology (contd…)
Increased pressure in pulmonary vascular
system
Right ventricular dilation&hypertrophy
Fails
Engorgement of systemic venous system
Congestion in GIT,Liver viscera,Kidneys,Legs,sacrum
![Page 14: Heart Failure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556b17d5d8b42adb338b4770/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Pathophysiology (contd..)
Conditions that causes RVF - Pulmonary diseases (PAH,Pulmonary embolism,COPD,cor pulmonale) - Constrictive Pericarditis - Tricuspid and pulmonary valvular disorders - RV infarction
![Page 15: Heart Failure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556b17d5d8b42adb338b4770/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Pathophysiology (contd..)
• Cardiac reserve (Hearts ability to increase the output in response to stress(5 the times the normal)
• But in the diseased heart, it fails to respond to body’s increased demands
• Compensatory mechanism will be initiated
![Page 16: Heart Failure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556b17d5d8b42adb338b4770/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Pathophysiology contd..• Compensatory mechanisms are
-Ventricular dilation: Lengthening of the muscle fibers Increased volume of heart chambers Increased preload and cardiac out put leads to reduced contractibility when stretched beyond capacity Increased oxygen demand hypoxia
![Page 17: Heart Failure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556b17d5d8b42adb338b4770/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pathophysiology (contd..)• Ventricular hypertrophy-Increase in the
diameter of muscle fibers
Size and weight of heart increases
Increased oxygen demand
Hypoxia and reduced contractibility
![Page 18: Heart Failure](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556b17d5d8b42adb338b4770/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pathophysiology(contd..)• Increased sympathetic stimulation
Increased heart rate and peripheral vascular resistance
Reduced renal flow and increased renal conservation of water and sodium
Fluid overload and increased workload

• High output versus low output
Low output-IHD, HT,cardiomyopathy,pericardial diseases
Highoutput-Hyperthyroidism,anemia,pregnancy,paget disease

hourly -Reduce dose in renal impairment -Should not be given in heart failure with high
output - Digitalis toxicity should be monitored
