HF Flashcards
(27 cards)
Treatment options for HFrEF
Treatment of underlying disease, Beta blockers,CCB-non dihydropiridine, Diuretics,ACE i
Fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations on less than daily physical activities - NYHA class
3
Fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations on rest - NYHA class
4
Fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations on daily exercise - NYHA class
2
Fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations on extreme exercise - NYHA class
Class 1
Left ventricular usually manifest withfailure
Orthopnoea
Most typical and earliest symptom of Left ventricular failure is
Shortness of breath during physical activity
Chronic right ventricular failure can be caused by
Lung emphysema
Following symptom is not observed in case of lung edema
Foamy sputum, cyanosis,coarse crackle in lung,kussmaul breathing
Kussmaul breathing
NYHA classification is according to
Breathlessness during physical activity
Indication for CRT for symptomatic heart failure patient is not
LVEF less than 35,QRS duration more than or equal to 120,LBBB,ED diameter of Left ventricle more than 58
End diastolic diameter of left ventricle more than 58mm
CHF + preserved sinus rhythm, optimal dose of beta blockers,but still has HR more than 90-drug to choose
Ivabradine
CHF pathogenesis:
Reduced EF, peripheral vasoconstriction,deterioration of renal perfusion,RAAS activation
Natriuretic peptide
Vasodilator, increase diuresis,produced due to heart wall extension
CRT indicated when
QRS more than 120,LBBB, symptomatic CHF( NYHA 2 to 4), LVEF less than 35
Diagnosis of chronic HF is based on
Natriuretic peptide and transthoracic echo
First line drugs for CHF
Ramipril and nebivolol
Classification used for AHF due to acute MI
Killip classification
Clinical profile of cardiogenic shock
Cold wet
Clinical profile of acute hypertensive HF
Warm wet
Hypoperfusion signs
Oliguria, cold extremities, mental confusion
Main use of CRT
HF treatment method
Lab test to differentiate complaints of breathlessness between heart and lungs
Natriuretic peptide
