HEART FAILURE “pump failure”

DEFINITION Heart failure is the inability of the heart to supply adequate blood flow

DEFINITION Heart failure is the inability of the heart to supply adequate blood flow and therefore oxygen delivery to the peripheral tissues and organs

EPIDEMIOLOGY § Only cardiovascular disease with increasing incidence and prevalance due to § Aging

EPIDEMIOLOGY § Only cardiovascular disease with increasing incidence and prevalance due to § Aging population § Increased survival after MI--thrombolysis § Improvement of medical and surgical treatment

PATHOPYSIOLOGY § Heart is a pump which works with the lungs. § It pumps

PATHOPYSIOLOGY § Heart is a pump which works with the lungs. § It pumps blood from the heart to the lungs to pick up oxygen. § The oxygenated blood returns to the heart § It then pumps blood out into the circulatory system

CLASSIFICATION OF HEART FAILURE This is based on: v. How rapid symptoms develop---acute HF

CLASSIFICATION OF HEART FAILURE This is based on: v. How rapid symptoms develop---acute HF ---chronic HF v. Which ventricle is involved---right side HF ---left side HF v. Over all cardiac output---systolic HF ---diastolic HF

CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO ONSET OF SYMPTOMS: Acute heart failure --characterized by a rapid onset

CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO ONSET OF SYMPTOMS: Acute heart failure --characterized by a rapid onset of heart failure that may occur following 1 - MI 2 -myocarditis 3 -arrythmias 4 - infection 5 - PE If it is not fatal may progress to chronic heart failure

Chronic heart failure This results from the heart undergoing adaptive responses to precipitating cause

Chronic heart failure This results from the heart undergoing adaptive responses to precipitating cause and this cardiac response leads to impaired function. 1 - anemia 2 -thyrotoxicosis 3 -non compliance to medications 4 - diet—high salt

CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO OVER ALL CARDIAC OUTPUT Systolic heart failure The ventricle loses its

CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO OVER ALL CARDIAC OUTPUT Systolic heart failure The ventricle loses its ability to contract so the heart is unable to pump forcefully enough to get blood into the circulation.

Diastolic heart failure The ventricle loses its ability to relax , the muscle are

Diastolic heart failure The ventricle loses its ability to relax , the muscle are stiff so the heart is unable to fill with blood during resting cycle

CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO VENTRICLE INVOLVED Left side heart failure § This involves the left

CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO VENTRICLE INVOLVED Left side heart failure § This involves the left atrium, left ventricle, mitral and aortic valve § Patient presents with --- dyspnoe, orthopnoe and PND --- basal crepitations --- 3 rd heart sound--gallop

Right side heart failure This involves the right atrium, the right ventricle , the

Right side heart failure This involves the right atrium, the right ventricle , the tricuspid and the pulmonary valve. § Patient usually does not present with dyspnoe , orhtopnoe or PND § Raised JVP § Clear lung field § Ascites § Lower limb edema
