Q

what are the clinical features of right sided forward heart failure

A

less blood being pumped into the lungs for gas exchange, therefore less oxygenated blood to dispense to body
fatigue, weakness

Q

what are the clinical features of right sided backward heart failure

A

blood is backing up into veins, increasing venous pressure in vena cava and cascading in a retrograde fashion all the way to capillaries, pushing fluid out of veins into organs/tissue
manifests as dependent edema (pitting edema) in legs, abdomen, genitals, sacrum, GI tract, liver
weight gain associated with fluid retention
severe JVD
notcuria
hepatomegaly and splenomegaly

Q

what are suggestive findings of Left Heart failure

A

lung crackles
respiratory wheeze
displaced cardiac apex
left-sided heart murmurs

19
Q

what are shared findings with left and right sided HF

A

cool peripheries
cyanosis
orthopnea
delayed capillary refill

20
Q

what are the xray findings with CHF

A

cardiomegaly
pulmonary congestion: hilar fullness, cephalization, Kerley B lines
pleaural effusions

21
Q

what is Hilar Fullness

A

increased congestion/prominence of hilum

22
Q

what is cephalization

A

increased prominence of upper lobe vasculature

23
Q

what is kerley B lines

A

edema of the interlobular septa

24
Q

what are the work up assessment tools used for CHF diagnosis

A

CXR
ECG
echocardiogram
aniogram
BNP

25
Q

what is the purpose of a BNP

A

it is a sensitive test - if normal rule out HF
if REALLY elevated - can rule IN HF
helps guide treatment and following patients

26
Q

what are the treatment options for acute and chronic CHF

A

diet and lifestyle changes
daily weight monitoring
intensive case management to limit readmissions
regular activity to preserve functional status
surgical options: CABG, repair vs replacement, transplantation
device therapy: ICD, CRT, balloon pump, LV assist device

27
Q

when is heart transplantation the treatment of choice

A

< 60yo
severe, refractory HF
no other life-threatening conditions
AND
highly adherent to management conditions

28
Q

what are the goals of CHF treatment

A

improve symptoms management and quality of life
decreased hospitalizations
decreased overall mortality associated with this agent

29
Q

what are pharmaceutical options for HF treatment

A

Diuretics
RAAS
beta blockers

30
Q

what is used if a patient has a contraindication for RAAS medications with HR

A

hydralazine PLUS nitrate

31
Q

what medicatiosn are used for HFrEF patients

A

ACEi
BB
ARBs
aldosterone antagonists
ARNI
If channel bloker

32
Q

what medication do you need to take when using loop diuretics

A

must take potassium

33
Q

what is cardiogenic pulmonary edema

A

fluid accumulation in interstitial space of lungs (via increased hydrostatic pressure, increased capillary permeability, low oncotic pressure)

34
Q

what are non cardiogenic causes of pulmonary edema

A

pulmonary infection
toxic inhalation
chest trauma
damage to alveoli, increased capillary permeability due to inflammation

35
Q

what is cardiogenic shock

A

heart cannot pump enough blood (and O2) to brain and other vital organs
most often caused by MI, HF, chest trauma, PE

36
Q

what are the signs and symptoms of cardiogenic shock

A

Low BP, weak or irregular pulse
dyspnea, cold extremities, clammy, dizziness, confusion, LOC, decreased urination, LE edema

37
Q

what are the different types of treatment for cardiogenic shock

A

medications
interventions: PCI, CABG
Medical devices: ECMO, IABP, PCADs
supportive care

38
Q

what medications are used to treat cardiogenic shock

A

antiarrhythmics
blood thinners in presence of clot blocking coronary arteries
inotropes, vasopressors - to increased blood pressure and blood flow

39
Q

what are the interventions for cardiogenic shock

A

CABG
PCI aka angioplasty - possible stenting

40
Q

what are the medical device options for treatment of cardiogenic shock

A

ECMO - extracorporeal membrane oxygenation device
IABP - intra-aortic balloon pump - can be used with ECMO
PCADs - percutaneous circulatory assist devices - can support while heart recovers or while waiting for heart transplant

41
Q

what are supportive treatment options for cardiogenic shock

A

dialysis - if kidneys are damaged
IV fluids
mechanical breathing support (ventilator)
supplemented O2

42
Q

what are the causes of cardiogenic pumonary edema

A

Left sided heart failure
or
severe HTN

43
Q

what populations are at a higher risk for cardiogenic shock

A

Asian american pacific islanders, age, women, CAD, HF, HTN, DM, obesity, hx of CABG, PTX(penumothorax), sepsis
