Complete Solutions


Local/Tissue Perfusion
Blood reaching tissues and keeping them alive
Cardiomyopathy (CMP)
- Disease of the heart muscle
- Leads to generalized deterioration of the muscle and its
pumping ability
- Decrease in contractility leads to decrease in CO
- Leads to Heart Failure
Central Perfusion Issues
- Cardiomyopathy
- Heart Failure
- Endocarditis
- Pulmonary Hypertension
CO
Cardiac Output
Types of Cardiomyopathy (CMP)
- Dilated
- Hypertrophic
- Restrictive
Dilated Cardiomyopathy

,Enlargement of atria or ventricle
- More room for blood, unable to pump out
- Most Common type of CMP
Dilated Cardiomyopathy Signs and Symptoms
- Fatigue
- Dyspnea
- Cough
- Dysrhythmias/Palpitations
- Nausea/Vomiting
- Murmur
- Crackles
- Edema
- S3 and S4
Dilated Cardiomyopathy Treatment
- Depends on course of disease
- Meds
- Prodcedures
LVAD
Left Ventricular Assist Device
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Enlargement of left ventricle wall
- Stiff wall, smaller ventricle, can't pump out blood
- Most common in young active adults
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Signs and Symptoms

, - Asymptomatic (possible)
- Dyspnea
- Fatigue
- Angina
- Syncope
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Treatment
- Beta-adrenergic blockers
- Calcium channel blockers
- Surgical removal of excess myocardium
- Antidysrhythmics
- Strenuous activity avoidance
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
Impaired diastolic filling with stretch
- Walls are stiff, can't pump
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy Signs and Symptoms
- Fatigue
- Dyspnea
- Angina
- Syncope
- Palpitations
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy Treatment
- HF Management
- Surgical Intervention
Cardiomyopathy Treatments
