(119 cards)
What is Heart Failure?
Chronic, progressive condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood
Decreased ejection fraction of <50%
Heart Failure
Signs and Symptoms
SOB, wheezing/coughing, edema, fatigue, lack of appetite, nausea, confusion, increased HR
Heart Failure
Factors that Affect Intake
Changes in taste/smell, dietary restrictions, limited energy to buy/prep food, digestive disturbances, cardiac cachexia
Heart Failure
Nutritional Guidelines
Basic Guidelines
20-25 kcal/kg + AF
PRO: 1.1-1.4 g/kg
Heart Failure
Nutritional Guidelines
Classes I-IV and Stages B and C
22 kcal/kg ABW + AF (nourished pt)
24 kcal/kg ABW + AF (malnourished pt)
PRO: No Change
Sodium: 1500 mg/day
Sodium Rec for Stages A and B
Heart Failure
Nutritional Guidelines
Stage D
18 kcal/kg ABW + AF
PRO: no change
Sodium: <3 g/day
Sodium Rec for stages C and D
Heart Failure Education Recommendations
2-2.5 g Na/day (if malnourished consider no restriction)
1500-2000 mL/day
Heart Failure
When is it not appropriate to provide HF education?
Must meet 2 criteria
- MST of >2
- BMI <20
- Advanced age (+80)
- Braden Total <12 (wound development score)
Heart Transplant
Pre-Transplant Evaluation
- Nutrition hx with diet recall
- DEXA-bone density
- Adherence to diet recommendations
- Height, weight, BMI (<35)
- Albumin/Prealbumin Trends
- Hgb A1c 10%
DEXA: immunosuppressants decrease bone density
Heart Transplant
Post Transplant Nutrition Recommendations
30-35 kcal/kg (in absence of infection)
PRO: 1.5-2 g/kg initially
Carbs: 55-60%
Lipids: 30%
Fluids: 2000 mL
Supplement Electrolytes and Vitamin D
PRO: 1 g/kg in chronic post-transplant stage
Heart Tranplant
LVAD
Left Ventricular Assit Device
Pulls blood from L-Ventricle through a pump to be oxygenated, sent into aorta, and sent back through the body
Heart Transplant
When might an LVAD be used?
Can be a bridge to transplant (BTT), improved cardiac fx while waiting for transplant
Can be destination therapy, when the pt is not an appropriate transplant candidate (long-term treatment)
Lung Transplant
COPD Nutrition Recommendations
Energy: 125-165% greater than BEE
PRO: 1.2-1.7 g/kg
Lung Transplant
COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Progressive lung disease that causes restricted airflow and breathing problems
Lung Transplant
Cystic Fibrosis
genetic disease that causes the body to produce thick, sticky mucus that can lead to breathing and digestion problems
Lung Transplant
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
chronic lung disease that causes the lungs to stiffen and thicken with scar tissue, making it difficult to breathe
Lung Tranplant
Alpha-I Antitrypsin Deficiency
(AATD)
AAT production is reduced, this causes the body’s infection fighting agents to damage alveoli and lining of lungs
Lung Transplant
Pulmonary HTN
occurs when the blood pressure in the lungs’ arteries is too high
Lung Transplant
MNT Goals
Limit Na to decrease fluid retention
Ca and Vitamin D adequacy
Adequate fluids
Lung Transplant
Pretransplant Evaluation
- Nutrition hx
- Adherence to diet recommendations
- adequate caloric intake
- BMI
- Hgb A1c 8%
BMI:
F <30
M <32
Lung Transplant
Nutrition Needs Post-Transplant
35 kcal/kg OR 130-150% of BEE
PRO: 1.5-2.0 g/kg
Meds: immunosuppressors and increase blood sugars
PRO: decreased to 1 g/kg are corticosteroids are decreased
Normal Renal Function
- Filters blood, maintains fluid balance, regulates electrolytes, BP regulation
Renal Disease
Nephrons
Functioning part of kidney
* Filters, reabsorbs, and excretes waste
Renal Disease
Renal Corpuscle
blood-filtering component of the nephron of the kidney
*Crt is a key lab for diagnosing kidney disease
High Crt = not properly excreting
