Nurs 1873 Week 7
1. Risks for heart failure: age
hypotension
history of MI
Diet
cognitive impairment
weight
diabetes
2. co-morbidity for HF: chronic lung disease
3. Risk factors for HF: Hypertension
CAD
4. HF compensatory mechanisms: Dilation at rest
hypertrophy-tense doesn't go back to normal
Remodeling
5. VNP: released when heart muscle stretches
elevated with heart failure
1/7
, 6. pulmonary edema need: pillows
7. non-pharmacological interventions: Diet, pace maker, oxygen, LVAD
8. inotrope: strength
9. chronotrope: rate
10. HF drug therapy: RAAS inhibitors
B blockers
vasodilators
positive inotropic agents
diuretic
inhibitor of SN
11. untreated hypertension with no cause: results in right HF and death if untreated
12. Cor pulmonale: enlarged right ventricle secondary to disorder of respiratory system, COPD
13. dilated HF: enlargement of atria or ventricle
