Congestive heart failure
• Def: reduced cardiac output to meet the demand.
• In many pathologic states, the onset of heart failure is preceded by cardiac hypertrophy.
• Pathogenesis: flow chart next slide.

Increased work load, MI, pressure/ volume overload
↓re-expression of embryonic/fetal type of protein
(β-myosin heavy chain)
+Reduced capillary density → reduced oxygen
supply ↓
Heart failure
These re-expression of embryonic/fetal type are associated with myocardial hypertrophy.

Congestive heart failure
• So, it is long term process.
• Clinical: similar to RHF
• Often progress from the underling diseases like– Hypertension– Cor-pulmonale– Valvular disease– Multiple MI

Do you know
• Propels over 6000 liters of blood through the body daily.
• Beats more than 40 million times a year.
• Yearly economic burden of ischemic heart disease is estimated to be in excess of $100 billion.

Ischemic Heart Disease
• There is an imbalance between the myocardial demand and the blood supply.
• Age: Male: middle age
– Female : post menopausal
• Epidemiology: leading cause of death for both males and females in the United States.
![Page 16: The Heart -1 Updated for Spring 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813a27550346895da20b40/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Types of ischemic heart disease

2. Prinzmetal variant
3. Unstable angina

17
Pathogenesis of IHD
1. Narrowing (stenosis) of coronary artery: • Mostly fixed arthrosclerosis.
2. Complete obstruction (occlusion) of the lumen of coronary artery:
1. Thrombus developed on an atheroma / embolism**.
1. 75% or more narrowing: Ischemic symptoms (angina).
2. Complete occlusion (100% ): Infarction
![Page 18: The Heart -1 Updated for Spring 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813a27550346895da20b40/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Morphology- Angina
• Fixed Atherosclerotic narrowing of the coronary artery.
• This partial occlusion may produce angina.
![Page 19: The Heart -1 Updated for Spring 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813a27550346895da20b40/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Nearly complete luminal occlusion. Following acute plaque change
This produce myocardial infarction
![Page 21: The Heart -1 Updated for Spring 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813a27550346895da20b40/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Angina Pectoris• Angina pectoris is characterized by:
– Intermittent chest pain caused by transient, reversible myocardial ischemia.
• Type:1. Typical or stable angina pectoris.
• Fixed atherosclerotic narrowing (75% or greater).
2. Prinzmetal, or variant , angina.
3. Unstable angina pectoris (crescendo angina).• Preinfarction angina.
![Page 22: The Heart -1 Updated for Spring 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813a27550346895da20b40/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Typical or stable angina pectoris
• Episodic chest pain associated with exertion or stress.
• Pathogenesis: Fixed coronary atherosclerotic narrowing without plaque change ( > 75% but not full)
• Pain is relived by rest or vasodilators (nitroglycerine) that reduce the venous return.
![Page 23: The Heart -1 Updated for Spring 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813a27550346895da20b40/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Prinzmetal Angina
• Is a form of angina pectoris which
– occurs at rest and
– presumably stems from a coronary artery spasm with or without an obstructive lesion in the artery.
![Page 24: The Heart -1 Updated for Spring 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813a27550346895da20b40/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Unstable Angina (crescendo angina)
• Pathogenesis: – acute plaques change but without 100%
occlusion.
• Clinical:– Increased frequency of anginal pain.– Pain precipitated by less exertion.– Pain is more intense and last longer.
• High risk for Myocardial infarction.
![Page 25: The Heart -1 Updated for Spring 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813a27550346895da20b40/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Biochemical of angina
• C-reactive protein (CRP) may serve as a marker to predict the risk of MI in patients with angina.
• Also serve as a marker to predict the risk of new infarcts in patients who recover from infarcts.

Myocardial infarction
Sudden (> 30 min.) pain
May be in shock due acute LVF : Pulmonary edema.
Statistics:
In U.S. 1.5 million/yr. 25% die in acute phase within 1 hr.
At age 45 –55 : M:F::4:1
At age 80 equal incidence among sexes
![Page 28: The Heart -1 Updated for Spring 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813a27550346895da20b40/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Pathogenesis of Myocardial Infarction –
100% Occlusive intracoronary thrombus By:-
1. Provoked by complications of Atheroma: E.g. : Rupture of plaque.
2. Coronary artery spasm: ? Smoking
3. Emboli (Source is the proximal part of same blood vessels).
![Page 29: The Heart -1 Updated for Spring 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813a27550346895da20b40/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Types of Myocardial Infarction
• Subendocardial MI: – < 50% of the wall thickness
– Any MI typically begins in this area (most poorly perfused area of the myocardium).
• EKG: ST segment depression.
• Transmural MI:– Necrosis extend externally and involve entire
myocardium.– Most common type, take about 24 hrs to
develop.

• And apoptosis.

Complications of MI
Arrhythmias with possible "sudden death”
(ventricular fibrillation)
Occur immediately
[ MOST COMMON cause of sudden death in MI]
Acute fibrinous pericarditis Typical onset: Second or third day
Late: Dressler syndrome
Rupture of the wall and tamponade or VSD
3-7 days after the MI
Papillary muscle rupture and mitral incompetence
3-7 days after the MI
![Page 46: The Heart -1 Updated for Spring 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813a27550346895da20b40/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Cardiac tamponade
Occur due to hemopericardium.
↑ pericardial pressure = ↓ diastolic filling of the ventricles, and hence in stroke volume
Signs:
Sudden drop in systolic and well as diastolic blood pressure.
Distended jugular vein.Right ventricular and right atrial collapse.

Clinical Features of Myocardial Infarction
• Severe, crushing substernal chest pain.
• Pain radiate to either:– Neck ,Epigastrium,Shoulder.– Or left arm.
• In up to 50% of cases, pain is preceded by episodes of angina pectoris.

Diagnosis of Myocardial Infarction
– EKG – ST elevation changes, T wave inversion and Q wave- transmural infarct.
– Echo cardiogram– Myocardial enzyme markers
• Creatinine Kinase• Troponins• Lactate dehydrogenase, Myoglobin
