Study Notes
Heart Failure Pathophysiology
-
Chapter 11: Covers the pathophysiology of heart failure
-
Content: The presentation outlines topics like etiology (causes) of cardiac insufficiency, classification of heart failure, compensatory responses, pathogenesis, metabolic alterations, and the pathophysiology basis for prevention and treatment.
-
Objectives: The presentation aims to define cardiac insufficiency and heart failure, understand their pathogenesis, and identify contributing factors as well as ways to classify and manage the issue. Students should also understand the pathophysiology behind heart failure prevention and treatment.
-
Diagram of Heart: Includes a diagram of the heart, highlighting different chambers and blood flow directions (vena cava, aorta, atria, ventricles).
-
Morbidity of Heart Disease: A pie chart illustrates types of heart disease within all causes of death. Heart disease is the most prominent cause.
-
Patient Death: Shows a death certificate or photo of a prominent figure who died of myocardial infarction.
-
Cardiac Insufficiency Concepts: Explains complete, incomplete, and de-complete compensation stages in the context of heart failure, relating them to the overall condition called heart failure.
-
Heart Failure Definition: Heart failure is characterized by decreased systolic and/or diastolic cardiac function. This leads to a reduction in absolute or relative cardiac output, unable to meet the body's metabolic demands.
-
Clinical Manifestations: The presentation contains images showcasing clinical signs, such as enlarged organs, edema, and changes in X-ray images.
-
Etiology of Cardiac Insufficiency: Highlights the causes and precipitating factors of cardiac insufficiency.
-
Primary Dysfunction of Myocardium: Discusses factors like myocarditis, myocardiopathy, myocardial necrosis, myocardial ischemia, and vitamin B deficiencies.
-
Cardiac Overload: Describes volume and pressure overload related problems like mitral or aortic insufficiency, chronic anemia, hyperthyroidism, systemic hypertension, and pulmonary hypertension.
-
Restricted Cardiac Filling: Discusses Constrictive pericarditis and resulting inflammation of the pericardium.
-
Precipitating Factors: Lists infections, arrhythmias, pregnancy/delivery, acid-base/electrolyte imbalances, and other factors that lead to heart failure.
-
Classification of Heart Failure: Explains how heart failure is classified by onset speed (acute or chronic), heart involvement (left, right, or whole heart), cardiac output (low or high), systolic and diastolic dysfunction, and severity.
-
Acute Heart Failure: Characterized by a rapid onset and sharp decrease in cardiac output within a short timeframe.
-
Chronic Heart Failure: Characterized by a chronic onset, often accompanied by compensatory mechanisms including increased blood volume and myocardial remodeling.
-
Left Heart Failure: Caused by pulmonary circulatory congestion.
-
Right Heart Failure: Characterized by systemic circulatory congestion.
-
Whole Heart Failure: Affects both sides of the heart.
-
Low Output Heart Failure: Cardiac output decreases to the lower limit of normal (e.g. due to coronary heart disease, hypertension, valvular disease).
-
High Output Heart Failure: Cardiac output decreases relatively, occurring during conditions of hyperdynamic circulation (e.g., anemia, hyperthyroidism, vitamin B1 deficiency).
-
Classification (Systolic/Diastolic Dysfunction): Covers how heart failure is categorized based on systolic and diastolic dysfunction, where each one is connected to coronary heart disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, aortic stenosis, and constrictive pericarditis.
-
Classification (Severity): Explores how the severity of the heart condition is divided into mild, moderate, and severe, each represented via heart association class.
-
Compensatory Responses: Explores the heart's responses to dysfunction and improved blood-supply in tissues and organs and extracardiac compensation in patients when the heart's functioning isn't ideal. It covers various compensations including increased heart rate, positive inotrope catecholamine activities, cardiac tonogenic dilation, and myocardial hypertrophy. It also highlights increased blood volume, redistributed blood flow, erythrocytosis, and increased tissue capacity for oxygen use as extracardiac responses.
-
Neurohumoral Mechanisms: Points out the role of neurohumoral mechanisms in heart failure
-
Pathogenesis of Heart Failure: Examines different aspects of reduced myocardial contractility due to myocardium destruction, impaired myocardial energy metabolism (processes involved in production, storage and utilization of ATP, as well as disorders in energy production and storage) and excitation-contraction coupling dysfunction (with an emphasis on Ca2+ handling). Discusses roles of myocardial infarction, ischemia, hypoxia, and toxin in this mechanism. Additionally, the presentation explores cardiac remodeling, related to several mechanisms including cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and intracelluar Ca2+ overload. These events ultimately decrease myocardial contractility, leading to heart failure if severe.
-
Diastolic Dysfunction: Describes delayed Ca2+ repositioning, impaired myosin-actin complex dissociation, reduced potential energy for ventricular diastole, and reduced ventricular compliance as mechanisms for diastolic dysfunction.
-
Asynergic Contraction-Relaxation: Images depict various stages of heart function, illustrating asynchronous contraction and relaxation patterns across different heart wall areas.
-
Alterations of Metabolism & Function: Explores the forward (low output) and backward (venous congestion) syndromes.
-
Forward Syndrome: Concentrates on decreased cardiac output, changes in arterial blood pressure (potentially leading to cardiogenic shock in acute cases); and blood redistribution across different organs.
-
Backward Syndrome: Examines pulmonary circulation congestion (leading to fluid build-up), and systemic circulation congestion (leading to edema, especially in the lower limbs). Each of these syndromes has associated symptoms and manifestations, including orthopnea, dyspnea, various types of edema (pulmonary, lower extremity, ascites), and gastrointestinal dysfunction. Hepatomegaly and cardiac cirrhosis are also covered as conditions resulting from right-sided heart failure.
-
Prevention and Treatment Strategies: Covers methods for treating underlying diseases, regulating neurohormonal imbalances, reducing volume/pressure loads on the heart, and improving myocardial function. Electrolyte and acid-base correction is also included.
