Universal stages of Heart Failure (HF) - At-risk for HF
- Pre HF
- HF
- Advanced HF
, according to the universal definition, - do not have HF, but at risk
what is "at-risk for HF"? - no current or prior s/s
- no structural, functional, or biomarker evidence
supporting HF
according to the universal definition, - clinical syndrome
what is "HF" - current or prior s/s of HF
- caused by structural of functional cardiac
abnormality
- elevated natriuretic peptide levels
- evidence of pulmonary or systemic congestion
who is most at risk for HF black males and females; older women
two biggest causes of HF 1. ischemic heart disease (CAD)
2. HTN
calculate EF SV/LVEDV
synonym for inotropy contraction (HFrEF)
synonym for lusitropy relaxation (HFpEF)
two organizations for classification of 1. American Heart Assocation (A,B,C,D) - based on
HF structure
2. New York Heart Association (None, I, I, II, III, IV,
V) - based on physical activity limitations
how to distinguish cardiac cardiac dysfunction has structural abnormalities
dysfunction versus cardiac HF w/o symptoms
once a patient develops symptoms along with
structural abnormalities, they have HF

, compensatory mechanisms for HF 1. Hemodynamics (Frank Starling Law) - can give
inotropes as short term use to increase contractility
(long-term can cause mortality)
2. SNS activation (increase contractility,
tachycardia, vasoconstriction)
3. RAAS activation (angiotensin II binds to AT 1
Receptor - vasoconstriction)
two types of angiotensin II 1. circulating
2. tissue-derived
effects of circulating angiotensin II - causes vasoconstriction
on HF - increases secretion of ADH
- increase aldosterone secretion
- increases sodium reabsorption
are aldosterone levels high or low in 20x higher than normal
HF?
effects of aldosterone on HF - increases sodium and water reabsorption
- decreased potassium and magnesium
- decreased baroreceptor reflex
- sympathetic activation
list the comprehensive risk factors of - dyslipidemia
Coronary Artery Disease - genetic studies
- modifiable risk factors
- non-modifiable risk factors
- novel risk factors
