Q

what can cause heart failure stuctal cahnges

A

left vencil sytolic dysfuion
vavular heart disase
pericaridal contricution or effusion
lv diastolic dysfcutio / heart failurew with preserved systolic function/ heart failure with normal ejection fraction
cardica arrhythmias - tachy or brady
myocardial ischaemia / infracion - usully via lvsd
restrie cardoimyopahty e.g amyloi hcm
right venticlaur failruew - primary or secore to pul hyperteoins

Q

what are causes of lv systolic dyfcution

A

ischam herat diase - often mi
dilated cario myophay as a result of the following
- inherited
toxin e.g alcohol, catecholamines e.g. phaochromomocyotma or stress, cardiomyopathy
- viral e.g. hiv, chagas diase, lyme diasae
systemic diase .e.g sarcoids, haemacrhoatois, sle, mitocral sia
muscular dystorphes
peripartum cariomyopy
hypertension
isolated non compaction
tachy cardi result cardiophhy
rv. pacing induced cardiomyopathy
end stage hypertrophic cario mpyapthy
end stage arrhmogenic rv cariomyopnaty

Q

what does echocardiography do

A

identify and quantify lv systolic dysfucion, valvular dysfjuciton, pericardil effusio, tamponade, diastolic dysucion, lvh, artail and ventilca shuts, pulonary hypertion, edv and ejection fraction

A

30-40%

17
Q

what is the ejection fraction for severe chf

A

less than 30%

18
Q

what is biplane modifed symptons ruel

A

it dives ventices in to know size and uses a copute agry to work out the inner voluem

19
Q

what two fctso does biplane modifed sympons hrule use

A

thrickens and diapmerter

20
Q

muga scan

A

measures the ejection fraction of your heart

21
Q

what is the down sides of a muga scan

A

ioisating radion, no additional stural information

22
Q

what is special about a cardiac mri

A

it is more accurate than echo, it shows addition tissue cahtris

23
Q

downsies to cardiac mri

A

exspeice, time consuming need to hold bereath, cannoth be down at bedside, claustaphobia

what are the classes ofhnyha for heart failuerw

A

1 - no limitaion - no sympthons
2- mild limation - comalbe when rest or mild exertion
3- moderate limaion- only comfortable at rest
4- severe limtio - any phcl activity bring on diomfao stand symptoms occur at rest
