Diagnosis is made by echo How do you manage VSD? observe and patch closure if symptomatic infants or complications. Larger shunts repaired by age 2y to prevent pulmonary HTN Dilated cardiomyopathy is dysfunction of Systolic dysfunction, leading to a dilated, what? weak heart most common type of cardiomyopathy Dilated cardiomyopathy age risk factor for dilated cardiomyopathy 20-60 years of age, men causes of dilated cardiomyopathy Idiopathic most common cause (may be familial). Infections: viral most common (especially the enteroviruses Coxsackievirus B, Echovirus). postviral myocarditis, HIV, Lyme disease. Parvovirus B19, Chagas disease. Toxic: alcohol abuse, cocaine, anthracyclines (eg, Doxorubicin), radiation. Pregnancy, autoimmune. Metabolic: eg, thyroid disorders, vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency. Systolic heart failure: - Left-sided failure: L for Lung symptoms - dyspnea, fatigue. symptoms of dilated cardiomyopathy - Right-sided failure: peripheral edema, jugular venous distention, hepatomegaly, GI symptoms. - Embolic events, arrhythmias. Left-sided failure symptoms L for Lung symptoms - dyspnea, fatigue. Right-sided failure symptoms peripheral edema, jugular venous distention, hepatomegaly, GI symptoms PE dilated cardiomyopathy (2) S3 gallop hallmark (due to filling of a dilated ventricle). Mitral or tricuspid regurgitation. Echocardiogram: diagnostic test of choice - left ventricular dilation (large diagnostics for dilated cardiomyopathy chamber), thin ventricular walls, decreased ejection fraction, ventricular hypokinesis. Similar findings to Systolic heart failure. Chest radiograph: cardiomegaly, pulmonary edema, pleural effusion. ECG: may show sinus tachycardia or arrhythmias. Mortality reduction with ACE inhibitors, management dilated cardiomyopathy Beta blockers (eg, Metoprolol, Carvedilol), ARBs, Spironolactone. Symptom control with diuretics, Digoxin. Automated implantable cardioverter/defibrillator if ejection fraction < 35-30%. what is stress takotsubo cardiomyopathy risk factors stress takotsubo cardiomyopathy pathophysiology stress takotsubo cardiomyopathy Transient regional systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle that can imitate Myocardial infarction, but is associated with the absence of significant obstructive coronary artery disease or evidence of plaque rupture. postmenopausal women exposed to physical or emotional stress (eg, death of relative, catastrophic medical diagnoses, acute medical illness). catecholamine surge during physical or emotional stress, microvascular dysfunction, and coronary artery spasm. symptoms of stress takotsubo cardiomyopathy cardiac enzymes in stress takotsubo cardiomyopathy ecg findings of stress takotsubo cardiomyopathy coronary angiography findings of stress takotsubo cardiomyopathy echocardiogram findings of stress takotsubo cardiomyopathy management of stress takotsubo cardiomyopathy Similar to Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) - eg, substernal chest pain, dyspnea, syncope often positive ST elevations absence of acute plaque rupture or obstructive coronary disease transient regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction, especially apical left ventricular ballooning. conservative and supportive care is the mainstay of treatment (eg, Beta blockers, ACE inhibitors for 3-6 months with serial imaging to assess for improvement) Autosomal dominant genetic disorder of inappropriate LV and/or RV hypertrophy with diastolic dysfunction. what is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Subaortic outflow obstruction due to asymmetrical septal hypertrophy and systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve. Increased contractility (eg, exercise, in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, obstructions worsens with Digoxin, beta agonists) and/or Decreased LV volume (eg, dehydration, decreased venous return, Valsalva maneuver). Dyspnea most common symptom, symptoms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy fatigue, angina (chest pain), pre syncope, syncope, dizziness, arrhythmias. Maybe asymptomatic initially. Sudden cardiac death, especially in adolescent or preadolescent children especially during times of extreme exertion usually due to Ventricular fibrillation. Harsh systolic murmur best heard at the left sternal border. Increased murmur intensity with decreased venous return (eg, Valsalva, standing) or decreased afterload (eg, Amyl nitrate). PE for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Decreased murmur intensity with increased venous return (eg, squatting, supine, leg raise) or increased afterload (eg, handgrip). Increased LV volume preserves outflow. May have loud S4, mitral regurgitation, S3, or pulsus bisferiens. ecg results for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy left ventricular hypertrophy, asymmetric ventricular wall thickness echo for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (especially septal) 15mm or greater, systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve, & small LV chamber size. Focus on early detection, medical management, surgical management, and/or ICD placement. Medical: Beta blockers first-line medical management management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Alternatives include Calcium channel blockers & Disopyramide. Surgical: Myomectomy usually performed in young patients refractory to medical therapy. Alcohol septal ablation: an alternative to surgical myomectomy. Patients should avoid dehydration, extreme exertion, and exercise. Cautious use of Digoxin, Nitrates, and diuretics (Digoxin increases contractility; Nitrates & diuretics decrease LV volume). Diastolic dysfunction in a non-dilated what is restrictive cardiomyopathy ventricle, which impedes ventricular filling (decreased compliance). The stiff ventricle fills with great effort. Infiltrative disease: Amyloidosis (most common), Sarcoidosis, Hemochromatosis, Scleroderma, Metastatic disease, endomyocardial what causes restrictive cardiomyopathy fibrosis. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy. Signs of heart failure. S3 may be heard. Pulmonary hypertension. symptoms of restrictive cardiomyopathy Right-sided heart failure > left-sided failure symptoms. - Right-sided failure: eg, peripheral edema, jugular venous distention, hepatomegaly, ascites, GI symptoms. - Left-sided failure: L for Lung symptoms (eg, dyspnea most common complaint, fatigue). what is kussmauls sign in restrictive cardiomyopathy the lack of an inspiratory decline or increase in jugular venous pressure with inspiration. diagnostic t e s t of choice - non-dilated echocardiogram results for restrictive cardiomyopathy ventricles with normal thickness (may be slightly thick), diastolic dysfunction, marked dilation of both atria.
