A. Cellular Basis of Cardiac Contraction A 1. Cardiac Ultrastructure Myocardium:striated muscle cell fiber cross-banded strands (myofibrils) sarcomere Sarcomere: structural and functional unit of contraction Primary contractile protein Myosin (thick filement): fibrous protein with cross-bridges globular head (ATPase) Actin (thin filament) double helix of 2 chains of actin combine reversibly with myosin in presence of ATP and Mg. Titin resists excess. shortening / elongation of sarcomere
Primary contractile protein major molecules of contractile system. thin actin filament interacts with myosin head Regulatory protein : troponins (Tn) and tropomyosin in actin troponin C (Tn. C) : Ca 2+ binding sites troponin I (Tn. I) : inhibits actin-myosin interaction troponin T (Tn. T)
A 2. Contractile Process : excitation-contraction coupling cross-bridge cycling : Hydrolysis of myosin-ATP by ATPase on myosin head 1 4 2 3 1. relaxed muscle : low cytosolic Ca 2+ tropomyosin 과 Tn- complex에 의해 cross-bridges의 활성이 억제 2. Ca 2+ 이 Tn. C에 결합하면 myosin head의 ATPase가 활성 tropomyosin을 이동시켜(uncover actin site) : myosin head 가 actin에 bind active complex형성되며 muscle contracts 3. low-energy rigor com: mechanical work (rowing motion of the cross-bridge). 4. resting state : new ATP binds to rigor complex dissociates cross-bridge from thin filament
Resting : cardiac cell 내부 transmembrane potential : 90 m. V (-80~-100 m. V) Resting sarcolemma : Na+ impermeable ATP require Na+, K+ pump cell 내부는 K+이, 외부는 Na+이 높다. action potential phase 2 : Ca 2+이 cell 내부로 유입 T tubule로 들어가 SR에서 많은 양의 Ca 2+을 release intracellular Ca 2+증가→Ca 2 - troponin C 결 합하여 myocyte 수축.

Treatment of Heart Failure and Normal Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction control systolic and diastolic hypertension, in accordance with guidelines. I control ventricular rate in patients with atrial fibrillation. I diuretics to control pulmonary congestion and peripheral edema.

Restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation might be useful to improve symptoms. IIa IIb The use of beta-adrenergic blocking agents, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, or calcium antagonists in patients with controlled hypertension might be effective to minimize symptoms of heart failure. IIb The use of digitalis to minimize symptoms of heart failure might be considered. IIb
Management of patients with heart failure and atrial fibrillation General recommendations • Precipitating factors and co-morbidities should be identified • HF treatment should be optimized Rhythm control • Immediate electrical cardioversion : patients with new-onset AF, myocardial ischaemia, symptomatic hypotension, symptoms of pulmonary congestion rapid ventricular response not controlled by appropriate pharmacological measures Rate control • Digoxin alone or in combination with β-blocker is recommended Prevention of thromboembolism • Antithrombotic therapy is recommended, unless contraindicated • Optimal approach should be based on risk stratification: in patients at highest risk of stroke [prior stroke, transient ischaemic attack (TIA), or systemic embolism] oral anticoagulant therapy with a vitamin K antagonist
Management of arterial hypertension in patients with heart failure In hypertensive patients with evidence of LV dysfunction • Systolic and diastolic blood pressure should be carefully controlled therapeutic target of 140/90 and 130/80 mm. Hg in diabetics and high risk patients • Anti-hypertensives (renin–angiotensin system antagonists ; ACEIs or ARBs) In hypertensive patients with HFPEF: • Aggressive treatment (several drugs with complementary mechanisms of action) • ACEIs and/or ARBs should be considered the first-line agents

Clinical Use CHF with myocardial ischemia Orthopnea and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea In acute CHF and pulmonary edema : NTG sl / iv Nitrates + Hydralazine : intolerance to ACE-I (hypotension, renal insufficiency) Clinical indication of vasodilator therapy 1. Acute pulmonary edema 2. Acute myocardial infarction heart failure, cardiogenic shock mechanical complication: Acute mitral regurgitation ventricular septal rupture 3. Acute left ventricular failure due to cardiac overload: hypertensive crisis acute aortic regurgitation 4. Chronic vasodilator therapy: hypertension chronic myocardial failure:unresponse to cardiotonic and diuretics
Conditions associated with a poor prognosis in heart failure Demographics Clinical Advanced age* Hypotension* Ischaemic etiology*NYHA functional class III–IV* Resuscitated Prior HF sudden death* hospitalization* Poor compliance Tachycardia Renal dysfunction Pulmonary rales Diabetes Aortic stenosis Anaemia Low body mass index COPD Sleep-related breathing disorders Depression Electrophysiological Functional/ exertional Tachycardia Q waves Wide QRS* LV hypertrophy Complex ventricular arrhythmias* Reduced work, low peak VO 2* Laboratory Marked elevation of BNP/ NT pro-BNP* Hyponatraemia* Imaging Low LVEF* Elevated troponin* Elevated biomarker neurohumoral activation* Low heart rate variability. Poor 6 min walk Elevated creatinine/BUN distance Atrial fibrillation T-wave alternans High VE/VCO 2 slope. Elevated bilirubin Anaemia Periodic breathing Elevated uric acid Increased LV volumes Low cardiac index High LV filling pressure Restrictive mitral filling pattern, pulmonary hypertension Impaired right ventricular function

Indications and dosing of vasodilators VASODILATOR THERAPY : Principles of action ↓afterload : improve ventricular empting: ↓ Reduce preload:↓ venous tone ↓ ventricular dimension and myocardial oxygen requirement
6. vasodilators Effects of vasodilators Agent Preload Afterload Nitroprusside +++ Nitrate +++ ± Hydralazine ± +++ Captopril ++ ++ VASODILATOR THERAPY : Principles of action ↓afterload : improve ventricular empting: ↓ Reduce preload:↓ venous tone ↓ ventricular dimension and myocardial oxygen requirement
positive inotropic agents Dopamine : precursor of norepinephrine hypotensive states and HF. At very low doses : dilates renal and mesenteric 2 to 10 µg/kg / min : myocardial ß-1 receptors 자극. little tachycardia higher doses : α-adrenergic receptors, ↑ arterial pressure. Dobutamine : synthetic sympathomimetic agent ß-1, 2, and α-1 receptors. potent inotropic action, modest cardio accelerating ↓peripheral vascular resistance
Levosimendan Ca sensitization (contractile proteins) : Smooth m. K channel opening : phosphodioesterase inhibition positive inotropic action peripheral vasodilation
