1
Definition of CHD
syndrome with abnormality of cardiac structure or function is responsible for inability of heart to eject or fill with blood at a rate sufficient to meet demands
2
What are the systolic components of HF
myocardial function
preload (EDV)
afterload
HR
3
What are the diastolic components of HF
impaired relaxation
impaired compliance- stiff
4
What is high output failure HF
normal heart function
increased metabolic demand, increased peripheral blood flow from decreased PVR
5
What causes systolic HF
inadequate CO/EF
6
how do you calculate EF
SV/EDV
7
What causes Diastolic HF
inability of ventricles to relax and fill normally with blood during diastole
8
What is forward HF
decrease in perfusion of the organs/tissues down-stream from the heart
9
What is backward failure
backing up blood into organs upstream, increasing hydrostatic P, leading to congestion/edema

29
what gene mutations can cause genetic HCM

30
What type of dysfunction (systolic or diastolic) does HCM cause

32
What maneuvers increase/decrease systolic murmur along left sternal border
increase with valsalva menuever/upright

33
What are causes of non-genetic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
similar to HCM but more generalized thickening with no disproportional involvement of the septum
aortic stenosis-related hypertrophy
34
What are Sx of non-genetic hypertrophic CM
diastolic dysfunction: SOB, edema
obstruction: syncrope, chest pain
35
what is restrictive cardiomyopathy chracterized by:

37
what systemic storage diseases cause restrictive cardiomyopathy
hemochromatosis, glycogen storage diseases
38
what fibrotic and endomyocardic conditions can cause restrictive cardiomyopathy
fibrotic: radiation, scleroderma
endomyocardiac: lofflers endocarditis, endomyocardial fibrosis
39
What is pulmonary BP usually measured at
20/10
40
What are the 4 general categories that can cause pulm HTN
pulm arterial HTN
L heart disease

41
What drugs are assoc with Pulm HTN
fenfluramine (weight loss)
amphetamines
cocaine
42
how can L heart disease lead to pulm HTN
L ventricular failure, increase volumes, increase pressures which increase pulm a P and so hypertrophy and ventricular failure on R side
43
What is most common cause of pulm HTN and pathogenesis
cor pulmonale
pulmonary disease leading to HTN and increase RV afterload, RV hypertrophy, RV failure
44
What can cause an increase in metabolic demand that does not match with CO
thyrotoxicosis
