Heart Failure Clinical syndrome affecting blood perfusion.
, 3 effects heart failure Inadequate cardiac output
Myocardial hypertrophy
Pulmonary/ systemic congestion
Cardiac Output Volume of blood pumped by heart per minute.
Myocardial Hypertrophy Thickening of heart muscle due to overwork.
Pulmonary Congestion Fluid accumulation in lungs from heart failure.
Systemic Congestion Fluid buildup in body due to heart failure.
Systole Phase of heart contraction.
Diastole Phase of heart relaxation.
Right Sided Heart Failure Failure affecting the right ventricle's function.
(systemic)
Left Sided Heart Failure Failure affecting the left ventricle's function. (Usually
weakens first)
This increases pulmonary pressure
Biventricular Heart Failure Simultaneous failure of both heart ventricles.
Afterload Resistance the left ventricle must overcome to eject
blood.
Peripheral Vascular Resistance Pressure within arteries influencing afterload.
Hypertension (HTN) Major cause of increased arterial pressure.
Pulmonary Edema too much fluid builds up in the lungs; requires
immediate treatment.
Alveolar Edema Fluid in alveoli, impairs gas exchange.
