Q
heart failure
left sided heart failure
A
- pathology of the LV reduces cardiac outpu leading to a backup of fluid into the LA and lungs.
- the increased fluid in the lungs produces 2 hallmark pulmonary signs of left sided HF:SOB and cough
10
Q
right sided heart failure
A
- occurs from direct insult to the RV caused by conditions that increase PA pressure.
- increased oressure within the PA subsequently increases afterload, thereby placing greater demands on the RV and causing it to go into failure
- blood is not effectively ejected from the RV and backs up into the RA and venous vasculature, producing 2 hallmark peripheral signs: jugular venous distention and peripheral edema
11
Q
ejection fraction norm range
A
EF: 55-75%
12
Q
terminology difference of compensated vs decompensated HF
A
compensated: the pt’s congestive symptos can be relieved by medical intervention
decompensated: shows s/s of congestion and requires medical and pharmacological readjustment
13
Q
common s/s of CHF
A
fatigue
dyspnea
edema (pulmonary and peripheral)
weight gain
presence of S3 heart sound
renal dysfunction
other symptoms:
- paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
- orthopnea
- bendopnea
14
Q
describe S3 heart sound
A
low frequency heart sound heart in early diastoleand occrs due to poor ventricular compliance and sibsequent turbulence of blood within the ventricle
- correlated with increase left ventricular end diastolic pressures and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure
15
Q
paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea vs orthopnea vs bendopnea
A
- paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea: sudden episodes of SOB occuring in the night
- orthopnea: increased SOB in the recument position
- bendopnea: presence of SOB when the pt bends fwd
16
Q
NYHA heart failure classifications
A
- class 1: pts with cardiac disease but without resulting limitations of physical activity. ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea or anginal pain
- class 2: pts with cardiac disease resulting in slight limitation of physical activty. they are comfortable at rest. ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitations, dyspnea, and aginal pain
- class 3: pts with cardiac disease resulting in marked limitations of physicalactivity. they are comfortable at rest. less than ordinary physical activity causes fatigue, palpitations, dyspnea or anginal pain
- class 4: pts with cardiac disease resulting in inablity to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. symptoms of cardian insuffiencey or of the anginal syndrome may be present even at rest. if any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort is increased
17
Q
dyspnea scale
A
0- no dyspnea
1- mild, noticeable

2 - moderate, bothersome
3 - severe, very uncomfortable: preinfarction pain
4 - most pain ever experienced; infarction pain
19
Q
hypoxemia vs hypercapnea
A
hypoxemia- decreased amount of oxygen in the aterial blood to the tissue
hypercapnea - increased amount of co2 within the arterial blood will develop
20
Q
cor pulmonale
A
increased pulmonary vascular resistance 2/2 capillary wall damage and reflex vasoconstriction in the presence of hypoxemia results in pulmonary HTN and RV hypertrophy
