CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE (CHF): *Refer to your CHF PowerPoint Slides

• EPIDEMIOLOGY:

o Most common cause of hospitalization over 65 years of age.

o Afflicts more than 2 million Americans annually.

o 900,000 hospitalization per year.

o PROGNOSIS: Poor

▪ Untreated, 82% of men die within 6 years of onset.

▪ Untreated, 67% of women die within 6 years of onset.

▪ Treated, mortality was reduced to 40%

Causes: Myocardial Infarction, hypertension, coronary artery disease, Hyperthyroidism,
Beriberi, anemia, arteriovenous shunts.



• HEMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES: Consequences of CHF

o Subnormal Cardiac Output------> decreased exercise tolerance, tachycardia,
pulmonary edema, cardiomegaly

o Neurohumoral Reflexes: Reflex tachycardia, increased sympathetics, increased
Renin.

o Myocardial Hypertrophy occurs, to maintain cardiac performance.

▪ Ventricular dilation helps to maintain cardiac output to an extent (due
to Starling's Law), but past a certain point it can no longer help.

o Factors affecting cardiac performance:

▪ Higher preload: due to increased blood volume and venous tone.

▪ Higher afterload: due to hypertension, increased arterial tone.

▪ Lower contractility------> lower inotropic state

▪ Higher heart rate, due to reflex tachycardia

o Edema: Especially pulmonary edema, but also peripheral. Results from decreased
Cardiac Output, by two mechanisms:

▪ Decreased CO ------> impaired venous return------> higher capillary
hydrostatic pressure

▪ Decreased CO ------> decreased renal perfusion------> activate renin
angiotensin system RAS------> aldosterone causes higher Na+ and fluid
retention.

• TREATMENT:

o CARDIAC GLYCOSIDES: See CHF PowerPoint Slides :

o MECHANISM: Inhibit Na+/K+-ATPase Pump------> increased intracellular Na+
in myocardium ------> decreased expulsion of Ca+2 in myocardium------>
tonically higher levels of intracellular Ca+2------> increased myocardial
contractility

o MECHANICAL ACTION on HEART:

▪ Increased myocardial contractility

▪ Bradycardia, due to reduced sympathetics.

▪ Increased Cardiac Output, due to reduced TPR (from
reduced sympathetics) and increased inotropic state.

o ELECTRICAL ACTION on HEART:
