    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.
