Study Notes
Basic Information on Heart Failure (HF)
- Heart failure is a progressive syndrome characterized by structural or functional abnormalities of the heart that impair its ability to meet the body's metabolic needs.
Anatomical Classification of Heart Failure
-
Left-Sided Heart Failure (LSHF):
- Commonly caused by systemic hypertension.
- Symptoms include tachypnea, dyspnea, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, cough with expectoration, and bilateral basal lung crepitations.
-
Right-Sided Heart Failure (RSHF):
- Typically resulting from pulmonary hypertension or lung diseases.
- Symptoms include congested neck veins, congested liver, bilateral leg edema, and right ventricular hypertrophy.
-
Total or Congestive Heart Failure (CHF):
- A combination of left and right heart failure.
Pathological Classification of Heart Dysfunction
-
Systolic Dysfunction:
- Results from decreased contractility due to conditions like myocardial infarction (MI), cardiomyopathies, or ventricular hypertrophy.
-
Diastolic Dysfunction:
- Caused by increased ventricular stiffness from conditions like hypertrophy, infiltrative myocardial diseases (e.g., amyloidosis), ischemia, or pericardial diseases.
Compensatory Mechanisms in Heart Failure
- Activation of the sympathetic nervous system leading to tachycardia.
- Renal ischemia triggers the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS), causing vasoconstriction and fluid retention, worsening heart failure and edema.
Clinical Classification of Heart Failure (NYHA)
- Class I: No symptoms during ordinary physical activity.
- Class II: Mild symptoms and slight limitation during ordinary activities.
- Class III: Marked limitation in activity; symptoms even with less than ordinary effort; comfortable only at rest.
- Class IV: Severe limitations; symptoms present at rest, primarily bedbound patients.
Non-Drug Therapy
- Lifestyle modifications such as rest, dietary sodium and fat restriction, avoiding stress, smoking, and alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, and controlling risk factors.
- Risk factor management includes surgical corrections for valvular diseases and treatment of hypertension rather than using drugs that increase blood pressure.
Drug Therapy for Heart Failure
-
Positive Inotropic Drugs:
- Cardiac glycosides (e.g., Digoxin).
- Dopamine and dobutamine for short-term use.
- Phosphodiesterase inhibitors (e.g., inamrinone and milrinone).
-
Other Medications:
- Diuretics, ACE inhibitors, vasodilators (nitrates, hydralazine), beta-blockers, and spironolactone.
Cardiac Glycosides
- Natural plant derivatives, notably from the Foxglove plant.
- Contains a lactone ring and a steroid (aglycone) attached to sugar molecules, with Digoxin being the most commonly used.
- Pharmacokinetics:
- Distributed widely to body tissues; accumulates significantly in cardiac tissue.
- Drug concentration in the heart is double that in skeletal muscle and 15 times that in plasma; renal elimination necessitates dose adjustments based on creatinine clearance.
Mechanism of Action
- Produces a positive inotropic effect, enhancing contractility of the heart muscle.

Compensatory Mechanisms in Heart Failure
- Activation of the sympathetic nervous system leading to tachycardia.
- Renal ischemia triggers the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS), causing vasoconstriction and fluid retention, worsening heart failure and edema.
Clinical Classification of Heart Failure (NYHA)
- Class I: No symptoms during ordinary physical activity.
- Class II: Mild symptoms and slight limitation during ordinary activities.
- Class III: Marked limitation in activity; symptoms even with less than ordinary effort; comfortable only at rest.
- Class IV: Severe limitations; symptoms present at rest, primarily bedbound patients.
Non-Drug Therapy
- Lifestyle modifications such as rest, dietary sodium and fat restriction, avoiding stress, smoking, and alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, and controlling risk factors.
- Risk factor management includes surgical corrections for valvular diseases and treatment of hypertension rather than using drugs that increase blood pressure.
Drug Therapy for Heart Failure
-
Positive Inotropic Drugs:
- Cardiac glycosides (e.g., Digoxin).
- Dopamine and dobutamine for short-term use.
- Phosphodiesterase inhibitors (e.g., inamrinone and milrinone).
-
Other Medications:
- Diuretics, ACE inhibitors, vasodilators (nitrates, hydralazine), beta-blockers, and spironolactone.
Cardiac Glycosides
- Natural plant derivatives, notably from the Foxglove plant.
- Contains a lactone ring and a steroid (aglycone) attached to sugar molecules, with Digoxin being the most commonly used.
- Pharmacokinetics:
- Distributed widely to body tissues; accumulates significantly in cardiac tissue.
- Drug concentration in the heart is double that in skeletal muscle and 15 times that in plasma; renal elimination necessitates dose adjustments based on creatinine clearance.
Mechanism of Action
- Produces a positive inotropic effect, enhancing contractility of the heart muscle.
Basic Information on Heart Failure (HF)
- Heart failure is a progressive syndrome characterized by structural or functional abnormalities of the heart that impair its ability to meet the body's metabolic needs.
Anatomical Classification of Heart Failure
-
Left-Sided Heart Failure (LSHF):
- Commonly caused by systemic hypertension.
- Symptoms include tachypnea, dyspnea, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, cough with expectoration, and bilateral basal lung crepitations.
-
Right-Sided Heart Failure (RSHF):
- Typically resulting from pulmonary hypertension or lung diseases.
- Symptoms include congested neck veins, congested liver, bilateral leg edema, and right ventricular hypertrophy.
-
Total or Congestive Heart Failure (CHF):
- A combination of left and right heart failure.
Pathological Classification of Heart Dysfunction
-
Systolic Dysfunction:
- Results from decreased contractility due to conditions like myocardial infarction (MI), cardiomyopathies, or ventricular hypertrophy.
-
Diastolic Dysfunction:
- Caused by increased ventricular stiffness from conditions like hypertrophy, infiltrative myocardial diseases (e.g., amyloidosis), ischemia, or pericardial diseases.
