Heart Failure, Cardiac Cath, 3D

Heart failure is a progressive syndrome diagnosed with clinical findings as well as ____ and _____ cardiac changes.

Two categories of HF

CHF is HF with an EF of ___ or below.

In systole, HF is usually below ____

In diastolic HF EF may be___ but the RV is enlarged or has ____ filling.

_____ _____ cardiac output fails to meet the bodies metabolic needs. This is a ____ overload problem because it can't pump good enough. Does diastolic or systolic dysfunction unction occur? Since the cardiac output is inadequate, congestion develops ____ the failing ventricles.

Left sided HF is typically due to damage to the ____. This results in _____ congestion and ____ pulmonary pressure.

The signs and symptoms for left sided HF are

Right sided HF signs and symptoms are

Right sided HF typically follows left sided HF due to ____ pressure, resulting in systemic congestion.

Causes of HF are

As the heart fails the body compensates in an attempt to maintain ____. This delays having early symptoms of HF. Eventually this causes further damage and worsens HF.

Three components of compensation are

Three components of compensation are

Chronotropic force is

Three components of compensation are

Chronotropic force is

Inotropic force is

As a result of HF to empty the venous system and pump it into arterial system, these complications may arise. Increased left and right verticular _____. Elevated systemic and ____ pressure. ____ cardiac output.

Treatment of HF

With HF we will see this in an echo. _____ left and right ventricular function.____ left and right ventricular size. We may detect other underlying causes or associated causes of HF such as valve disease, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, CAD, tamponade, constrictive pericarditis, atrial or septal defect.

With Doppler we elavuate valvular disease of present and evaluate _____ function.

Cardiac Cath is when they insert a catheter into an ______or____ into the patients arm neck or groin.
