CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE AND ACUTE PULMONARY EDEMA TINTINALLIS CHAPTER 53 MARK SERRA

EPIDEMOLOGY  



550,000 NEW CASES PER YEAR LEADING CAUSE OF HOSPITALIZATION IN PEOPLE OLDER THAN 65 OVERALL COST IS ROUGHLY DOUBLE OF ANY CANCER DIAGNOSIS

PROGNOSIS   



2 YEAR MORTALITY RATE 35% IF SYMPTOMATIC INCREASES TO 80% (MALES) AND 65% (FEMALES) WITHIN 6 YEARS PATIENTS DEVELOPING PULMONARY EDEMA SURVIVAL RATE 1 YEAR 85% OF PATIENTS IN CARDIOGENIC SHOCK DIE WITHIN 1 WEEK

TYPES OF PATHOLOGY 







HIGH-OUTPUT, LOW-OUTPUT SYSTOLIC, DIASTOLIC RIGHT SIDED, LEFT SIDED COMBINATION OF TYPES

PATHOPHYISIOLOGY 

 

INABILITY OF THE HEART TO SUPPLY BLOOD TO ADEQUATLY MEET THE METABOLIC NEEDS OF BODILY TISSUES MAY DEVELOP OVER LIFETIME OR PRESENT ACUTELY 3 MECHANISMS UTILIZED TO COMPENSATE – FRANK-STARLING LAW: INCREASING PRELOAD RESULTS IN INCREASED CONTRACTILITY – MYOCARDIAL STRUCTURAL CHANGES: HYPERTROPHY OF MYOCYTES (INCREASED MASS) – NEUROHORMONAL : RENIN-ANGIOTENSINALDOSTERONE SYSTEM, RELEASE OF NOREPINEHRINE, NATRIURETIC PEPTIDES AND ENDOTHELIEN RELEASE

PATHOPHISIOLOGY 

HIGH-OUTPUT: CARDIAC FUNTION IS MAINTAINED, BUT INADEQUQTE TO MEET EXCESSIVE DEMANDS OF TISSUES – ETIOLOGY: ANEMIA, BERIBERI, THYROTOXICOSIS, PAGET’S DISEASE, ARTERIOVENOUS SHUNTS



LOW-OUTPUT: DECREASE IN MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION FROM INHERENT OR AQUIRED ETIOLOGIES

– MANY CAUSES: ISCHEMIA, HYPERTENSION MOST COMMON

SYSTOLIC VS DIASTOLIC 

SYSTOLIC DYSFUNCTION DEFINED AS EJECTION FRACTION <40% (AFTERLOAD SENSITIVE) – CAUSES AN INCREASE IN PULMONARY VASCULAR PRESSURES, PULMONARY CONGESTION AND EDEMA



DIASTOLIC DYSFUNCTION: IMPAIRED VENTRICULAR RELAXATION WITH PRESEVED CONTRACTILITY (PRELOAD SENSITIVE) – EXCESSIVE DIURESIS MAY EXACERBATE CONDITION



DISTINCTION MADE BY ECHOCARDIOGRAM

RIGHT SIDED VS LEFT SIDED 

LEFT SIDED: INCREASING PRESSURES IN PULMONARY VASCULATURE – MANIFESTS AS PERIVASCULAR AND INTERSTITIAL TRANSUDATE – ALVEOLAR SEPTAL WIDENING – ACUMMULATION OF TRANSUDATE IN ALVEOLI



ETIOLOGY: HTN, ISCHEMIA, VALVULAR DISEASES

LEFT SIDED

KERLY B LINES -SIDEROPHAGES

RIGHT SIDED 

ISOLATED RIGHT SIDED HF RARE – CHRONIC PULMONARY HYPERTENSION MOST COMMON CAUSE (COR PULMONALE)





LEFT SIDED HEART FAILUSE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF RIGHT SIDED FAILURE MANIFESTS AS: PERIPHERAL EDEMA, JVD, RUQ PAIN, HEPATOSPLEENOMEGALY

RIGHT SIDED

DIAGNOSIS 







CLINICAL FINDINGS: RESPIRATORY DISTRESS ORTHOPNEA, JVD, HTN, DIAPHORESIS, PERIPHERAL EDEMA, ELEVATED PCWP Chest X-RAY: VASCULAR REDISTRIBUTION, CARDIOMEGALY (CARDIOTHORACIC RATIO > 0.6 PA), INTERSTITIAL EDEMA, KERLY B LINES, PLEURAL EFFUSIONS CLINICAL SYMPTOMS MAY PRECEDE IMAGING EVIDENCE BY UP TO 6 HOURS, DONOT WITHHOLD THERAPY ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY GOLD STANDARD

CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS

DIAGNOSIS    



ELEVATED BNP LEVELS NON HF PATIENTS LEVELS AVG 38 pg/ml HF PATIENT AVG 1076 pg/ml BNP INCREASED IN ELDERLY, RENAL FAILURE, WOMEN, CIRRHOSIS BNP LEVELS 100-250 pg/ml CONSIDER OTHER DIAGNOSIS

TREATMENT  





AIRWAY MANAGEMENT: CADIAC MONITORING, PULSE OXIMETRY, ECG, IV ACSESS CARDIAC ENZYMES (14% HAVE POSITIVE SERUM MARKERS) CBC,BMP,BNP, CHEST XRAY, LIVER ENZYMES, DIGOXIN LEVEL

TREATMENT PHARMACOLOGY 

REDUCTION OF AFTERLOAD – SUBLINGUAL NITROGLYCERIN: 0.4 mg REPEAT 1-5 MIN – IV NITROGLYCERIN: 10-30 micg/min TITRATE TO 200 micg/min – IV NITROPRUSSIDE: 2.5 micg/kg/min TITRATE – NESIRITIDE: ANTAGONIST TO RENIN- ANGIOTENSIN AXSIS, 2 micg/kg BOLUS, IV DRIP 0.01 micg/kg/min



VASODIALATORS NOT RECOMMENED FOR HYPOTENSIVE PATIENTS, PATIENTS WITH CARDIOGENIC SHOCK

CONTRAINDICATIONS TO VASODIALATORS 

PRELOAD DEPENDENT STATES – – – –



RIGHT VENTRICULAR INFARCTION AORTIC STENOSIS VOLUME DEPLETION HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY

REDUCTION OF HEART RATE AND CONTRACTILITY WITH IV BETA BLOCKERS IS THERAPY OF CHOICE

TREATMENT PHARMACOLOGY 

FUROSEMIDE: – NO PRIOR USE: 40 mg IVP – PRIOR USE: DOUBLE LAST 24 HOUR USAGE: 80-180 mg – NO RESPONSE IN 20-30 MIN RE-DOUBLE DOSE



BUMETANIDE: – 1-3 MG DIURESIS BEGINS WITHIN 10 MIN



MONITORING OF ELECTROLYTES ESSENTIAL

TREATMENT PHARMACOLOGY 

ACE INHIBITORS – DECREASE MORTALITY AND HOSPITALIZATIONS – ALL HF PATIENTS SHOULD BE DISCHARGED WITH ACEI (DECREASES MORTALITY IN CLASS 4 HF BY 31%)



BETA BLOCKERS – DECREASE MYOCARDIAL HYPERTROPHY, AFTERLOAD AND MYOCARDIAL OXYGEN DEMAND – METOPROLOL DECREASES 1 YEAR MORTALITY IN CLASS II-III BY 34%

CLASSIFICATION OF HF

PHARMACOLOGY   



DRUGS CONTRAINDICATED IN HF CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS NSAIDS: INHIBIT EFFECTS OF DIURETICS AND ACEI ANTIARRHYTHMICS: PROPHYLACTIC USE IS NOT EFFECTIVE, AND MAY INCREASE MORTALITY

DISPOSITION 





MOST PATIENTS WITH ACUTE PULMONARY EDEMA REQUIRE ICU ADMISSION PATIENTS WITH RESOLVED HYPERTENSION AND DYSPNEA MAY BE ADMITTED TO MONITORED NON-ICU BED FOLLOW ENTRY PROTOCOL GUIDELINES FOR OBSERVATION, ACUTE CARE OR SHORT-STAY UNIT ADMISSION

LONG TERM MANAGEMENT 

OUTPATIENT FOLLOW-UP BY PHYSCIAN TRAINED IN HF MANAGEMENT



SOCIAL SERVICE EVALUATION – – –

MEDICATION COMPLIANCE DIETARY EDUCATION SMOKING CESSATION (REDUCES MORTALITY AS EFFECTIVLY AS BEST MEDICATION)
