Q

Afterload is

A

Afterload is the pressure against which the heart must work to eject blood during systole (systolic pressure).

The lower the afterload, the more blood the heart will eject with each contraction. Like contractility, changes in afterload will raise or lower the Starling curve relating stroke volume index to LAP.

Q

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (aka: Idiopathic Hyptertrophic Subaortic Stenosis -IHSS)

Features:

A
  • asymmetric Ventricular concentric hypertrophy with LV outflow Obstruction (b/w hypertorphied septum and MV leaflet)
  • Diastolic dysfunctions d/t hypertrophied and stiff ventricles
  • Increased LVEDP
258
Q

IHSS effect on decreasing and increasing the obstruction

A

conditions enlarge the LV – increase in Preload and afterload seperate the septum and anterior leaflet of teh MV and DECREASE the obstruction

conditions that make the ventricle smaller; increases velocity of blood flow (dehydration; + ve inotrops) INCREASE obstruction

259
Q

Factor increasing outflow obstruction (IHSS):

A
  • increased contractility
  • Increase HR
  • DECREASE Preload (vol) or afterload
260
Q

MCC of sudden death in young athletes is

A

IHSS / cardiomyopathy

261
Q

preferred tx for IHSS

A

Beta blockers
CCB
Surgical excision of hypertrophied septum

262
Q

spinal and epidural considerations for IHSS patients

A

o Spinal and epidural blocks are CONTRAINDICATED– will decrease preload and afterload

263
Q

anesthesia considerations for IHSS:

A
  • GIVE FLUID! avoid hypovolumia “FULL, FULL, FULL” increase PRELOAD
  • Neo and alpha stimulants are ideal b/c they increase SVR w/out increasing contractility “UP, UP, UP” (increase afterload)
  • reduce LV - aortic systolic pressure gradient
  • Avoid decrease in LV afterload
  • beta blockers to decrease contractility
  • halothane is ideal gas - direct myocardial depressant but doesn’t decrease SVR
264
Q

would you use fentanyl for pt with IHSS?

A

no use; does not depress myocardium or increase SVR

265
Q

IHSS and Bernoulli’s theorem

A

-in regards to increased afterload (b/c a decrease in afterload worsens the obstruction)

Bernoulli’s principle: Within a horizontal flow of fluid, points of higher fluid speed will have less pressure than points of slower fluid speed.
