Unit A Congestive Heart Failure Study Notes

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show low output high output, systolic vs. diastole, right vs. left, acute vs. chronic  
🗑
a state in which the heart is no longer able to pump sufficient blood to meet all metabolic needs of the body systems.   show
🗑
show low output HF  
🗑
cardiac output remains above normal or normal; caused by increased metabolic needs or hyperkinetic conditions- septicemia, anemia, hyperthyroidism   show
🗑
show systolic HF  
🗑
increase preload with decrease contractility, increase afterload as a result of increase peripheral resistance.   show
🗑
The percentage of blood ejected from the heart during systole.   show
🗑
decreased ejection fraction leads to what?   show
🗑
show diastolic HF  
🗑
Inadequate relaxtion equals what to the heart?   show
🗑
show 60-70%  
🗑
class I (ny heart assoc. classification of heart failure)   show
🗑
show symptoms of heart failure occur with maximal exertion.  
🗑
Class III   show
🗑
show symptoms at rest.  
🗑
What is the most common cause of acute onset of CHF?   show
🗑
How does dysrhythmias cause acute onset of heart failure?   show
🗑
show due to xtreme tachycardia and increase o2 demand  
🗑
show end organ damage of the heart  
🗑
Rupture of the papillary muscles affects the heart how?   show
🗑
show hole between 2 ventricles  
🗑
show MI, Dysrhythmias, pulmonary emboli, thyroid disorders, HtN crisis, rupture of the papillary muscle, ventricular septal defect, infection, stress, hypervolemia.  
🗑
show CAD, rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, pulmonary disease, anemia- d/t acute hypoxia of cardiac tissues, bacterial endocarditis, cessation of meds.  
🗑
show men, elderly, htn, cad, smokers, dm, hyperlipidemia. women after menopause.  
🗑
The amount of bld ejected with each ventricular contraction; normal 70ml/contraction   show
🗑
show preload, contractility, afterload  
🗑
the degree of fiber stretch at the end of diastole, heart is relaxed; corresponds to end diastolic volume and pressure   show
🗑
show contractility  
🗑
show afterload  
🗑
Preload depends on what in order to work properly?   show
🗑
show starling's law  
🗑
show increased SNS stimulation, positive inotropes, decreased with hypoxemia, decreased negative inotropes. increased preload = increased contractility  
🗑
show tone of systemic arterioles, systemic vascular resistance, bld viscosity  
🗑
show myocardial oxygen demand increases.  
🗑
_________ in aorta and carotid responds to increase CO2 and sends impulses to basomotor center in the medulla which stimulate nervous system to respond.   show
🗑
Increased afterload leads to what and why?   show
🗑
show disintergration of cells into membrane-bound particles that are eliminated by phagocytosis or shedding. (programmed cell death.)  
🗑
show epinephrine, norepinephrine, aldosterone, angiotensinII, BNP  
🗑
What is hBNP?   show
🗑
show renin-angiotensin system. Occurs when there is a reduced blood flow to the kidneys, d/t low-output states.  
🗑
show Vasoconstriction becomes more pronounced in response to angiotensin 2 and aldosterone secretion causes h2o and nacl retention. Preload and afterload increase.  
🗑
which hormone from the RAS system contributes to ventricular remodeling?   show
🗑
What happens to the heart once it begins the ventricular remodeling process?   show
🗑
show Adequate perfusion, pressure, and cardiac output.  
🗑
show Increased SNS= beta 1, beta 2 stimulation; increased peripheral vasoconstriction, RAS activated  
🗑
Neurohormonal control- compensatory mechanisms   show
🗑
show beta 1: Tachycardia  
🗑
show increase heart rate to increase cardiac output.  
🗑
show the heart rate will be so rapid that the filling time of the ventricles will decrease.  
🗑
Ventricular Dilation   show
🗑
show Muscle fibers begin to lengthen, increase vol. in the ventricles, stretched muscle fibers contracts more forcefully, heart requires more o2, less bld flow, and compensate more than tachycardia.  
🗑
show the heart loses its elasticity after it stretches beyond the natural stretch, muscle walls get thicker.  
🗑
show Ventricular Hypertrophy  
🗑
Describe the events of the heart during ventricular hypertrophy   show
🗑
What happens to the heart as the heart enlarges and the wall thickens?   show
🗑
show asymptomatic.  
🗑
Once all compensatory mechanism of the heart have failed the client will show what______?   show
🗑
Normal BNP levels?   show
🗑
show excludes the symptoms of dyspnea- an increase BNP best differentiates between the dyspnea of HF and that associated with lung dysfunction.  
🗑
BNP > 400   show
🗑
Usually the first to fail; the ventricle is unable to pump the sufficient blood in a forward direction.   show
🗑
Blood build up in left ventricle causes:   show
🗑
What happens to blood flow in left sided HF?   show
🗑
Early clinical manifestations of Left HF:   show
🗑
show Crackles- d/t leaking of plasma into lungs and pulmonary artery engorgement; orthopnea, PND, cheyne-stokes respirations, cardiac asthma  
🗑
The inability to lay flat with comfortable breathing.   show
🗑
Wake up with shortness of breath.   show
🗑
irregular breathing pattern- apnea/tachypnea breathing   show
🗑
show Cardiac asthma.  
🗑
Heart sounds associated with left heart failure.   show
🗑
decreased tissue perfusion to the brain causes these symptoms in client with left HF   show
🗑
Renal symptoms in heart failure include:   show
🗑
Why does nocturia happens at night?   show
🗑
show due to decreased cardiac output= to decreased kidney perfusion= decreased kidney output  
🗑
One of the cardiac clinical manifestations include laterally displaced PMI, why?   show
🗑
show become diminished or weak  
🗑
show occurs when the proportional pulse pressure is less than 25%, and is described as weak and strong pulses alternates.  
🗑
Left sided HF is the most common cause of this type of heart failure.   show
🗑
How does left sided heart failure cause right sided heart failure?   show
🗑
show Large amt of blood build up in rt ventricles, unable to pump bld forward into lungs due to decreased CO; bld back up to rt. atria-then to vena cavas- into peripheral vessels  
🗑
In rt ventricular heart failure, peripheral congestion in venous system causes what to the body?   show
🗑
show Liver and spleen become congested and large. (hepato/spleno- megaly)  
🗑
show Weakness, JVD, anorexia, nausea and bloating, hepatomegaly, dependent edema, cyanosis of nailbeds.  
🗑
show sticks out. Jugular venous distention JVD  
🗑
show nausea, anorexia, bloating.  
🗑
Client with RHF c/o abdominal pain, and have jaundice, due to?   show
🗑
show dependent edema, pitting edema.  
🗑
show venous congestion and compromised perfusion.  
🗑
