Study Notes

Angina Pectoris

Characterized by chest pain or discomfort, often described as pressure, squeezing, or heaviness.
Caused primarily by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, usually due to coronary artery disease.
Pain typically eases with rest or the use of nitroglycerin; this highlights its ischemic nature.
Main risk includes the potential progression to myocardial infarction or heart attack.
Pain is commonly located in the chest, but may also radiate to shoulders, neck, arms, or jaw.

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)

Main characteristic involves the heart's inability to pump effectively, leading to insufficient blood supply to meet the body's needs.
Causes include coronary artery disease, hypertension, heart valve disease, and prior heart attacks.
CHF results in reduced cardiac output, impairing the heart’s ability to deliver adequate blood to peripheral tissues.
Compensatory responses include increased heart rate, enlargement of the heart chambers, and the release of hormones like norepinephrine and aldosterone to maintain blood flow.
Remodeling of the heart occurs due to prolonged stress, leading to structural changes that further affect heart function and efficiency.
