Outline
• Heart Failure
– Causes
– Symptoms
– Treatments
• Cardiomyopathies
• Approach to valve disease
– Mitral stenosis and regurgitation
– Aortic stenosis and regurgitation
Define Heart Failure
Definition
• Condition where the heart cannot pump an
adequate supply of blood at normal filling
pressures to meet the metabolic needs of the
body
• HF is a complex syndrome in which abnormal
heart function results in
– clinical symptoms and signs of
• low cardiac output and/or
• pulmonary or systemic congestion
Increased contractility

Cardiomyopathy
• Characterized by ventricular
– Dilatation
– Hypertrophy
• Frank Starling: CO = SV x HR
• Laplace: Tension = Press x rad/ 2 x thick

Diagnosis of HF
• Constellation of symptoms and signs
• CXR
• Echocardiogram
– MUGA
– Serum BNP testing
Pulmonary Edema
• General Considerations
– Increase in the fluid in the lung
– Generally, divided into cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic
categories.
• Pathophysiology
– Fluid first accumulates in and around the capillaries in the
interlobular septa (typically at a wedge pressure of about 15 mm
Hg)
– Further accumulation occurs in the interstitial tissues of the lungs
– Finally, with increasing fluid, the alveoli fill with edema fluid
(typically wedge pressure is 25 mm Hg or more)
Cardiogenic vs. Noncardiogenic
pulmonary edema
• Cardiogenic pulmonary
edema
– Heart failure
• Coronary artery disease with left
ventricular failure.
• Cardiomyopathy
• Obstructing valvular lesions -for example
– Fluid overload -- for example,
kidney failure.
• Non-cardiogenic pulmonary
edema -- due to changes in
capillary permeability
– LUNG
•
•
•
•
Smoke inhalation
Near-drowning
Overwhelming aspiration
Acute Respiratory Distress
Syndrome (ARDS)
• Acute lung re-expansion
• High altitude pulmonary edema
– CAPILLARY
• Overwhelming sepsis
• Disseminated intravascular
coagulopathy (DIC)
CXR Findings of Pulmonary
Edema
cardiogenic pulmonary edema
•
•
•
•
Kerley B lines (septal lines)
– Seen at the lung bases, usually
no more than 1 mm thick and 1
cm long, perpendicular to the
pleural surface
Pleural effusions
– Usually bilateral, frequently the
right side being larger than the
left
– If unilateral, more often on the
right
Fluid in the fissures
– Thickening of the major or
minor fissure
Peribronchial cuffing
– Visualization of small
doughnut-shaped rings
representing fluid in thickened
bronchial walls
• Non-cardiogenic pulmonary
edema
– Bilateral, peripheral air space
disease with air bronchograms
or central bat-wing pattern
– Kerley B lines and pleural
effusions are uncommon
–
– Typically occurs 48 hours or
more after the initial insult
– Stabilizes at around five days
and may take weeks to
completely clear
Diagnosis of HF
• Constellation of symptoms and signs
• CXR
• Echocardiogram
– MUGA
– Serum BNP testing
SO YOUR PATIENT HAS
HEART FAILURE… WHAT
NOW?
Functional Classification
ACC/AHA STAGES OF
HEART FAILURE
STAGE A
•High risk for developing HF
(diabetes, CKD, HTN)
•No structural disorder of the
heart
STAGE B
•Structural disorder of the
heart (e.g.. Previous MI)
•Not yet developed
symptoms of HF
STAGE C
•Past or current symptoms
of HF
•Symptoms associated with
underlying structural heart
disease
STAGE D
•End stage disease
•Requires specialized
treatment strategies
NYHA FUNCTIONAL
CLASS
CLASS I

limitations in physical activity
•No shortness of breath when
walking, climbing stairs etc.
CLASS II
•Mild symptoms and
slight limitation during
ordinary physical
activity
CLASS III
•Marked limitation in activity
due to symptoms (fatigue,
shortness of breath) with less
than ordinary activity (e.g..
Short distances or ADL’s)
INCREASING SEVERITY OF HEART FAILURE
CLASS IV
•Severe limitation,
may experience
symptoms at rest
HOW DO YOU TREAT
HEART FAILURE?
Goals of Therapy
• 1. Identify and Treat the Underlying Cause
– Cardiac cath if necessary
•
•
•
•
2. Eliminate the acute precipitant
3. Manage HF symptoms
4. Slow progression of LV disease
5. Improve long-term survival
Precipitants of HF
• Increased metabolic demands
– Fever, anemia, infection, tachycardia, hyperthyroidism,
pregnancy
• Increased circulating volume
– Excessive salt or fluid in diet
– Renal failure
• Increased afterload
– Hypertension
– PE
• Impaired contractility
– Negative inotropes
– Ischemia
• Failure to take medications
Progression of
underlying disease
BB
ACE I
sprionolactone
diuretics
Management
• 1. Education
– Fluid and salt restriction
– Daily weights
– Avoid precipitants
• 2. Diuretics if volume overloaded
• 3. Neurohormonal modulation
– ACE-I
– bB
– spironolactone
• 4. Devices
– CRT
– ICD
• 5. Referral for cardiac transplantation
Who needs an ACE-I?
• All HF patients with LVEF <40% should be treated with an ACEI and a beta-blocker, unless a specific contraindication exists
CONSENSUS Trial . N Engl J Med 1987;316:1429-35.
SOLVD Investigators. N Engl J Med 1991;325:293-302.
Flather MD et al. Lancet 2000;355:1575-81.
These trials form the basis of ACE-I use in HF with LVEF < 40%
and/or post-MI with reduced LVEF and/or HF
Who needs a bB?
• All HF patients with LVEF 40% (use clinically proven beta-
blocker)
• In stabilized HF patients with NYHA Class IV symptoms

MR - Pathophysiology
• Portion of the LV stroke volume ejected into LA
– Forward CO is less than total LV CO
•
•
•
•
↑ LA volume
↓ forward CO
↑ Volume in LV subsequently
Severity of MR depends on:
–
–
–
–
SVR opposing LV blood flow
LA compliance
Duration of regurgitation
Size of orifice during regurgitation
MR – Clinical Presentation
• Chronic
– Fatigue
– If LV contractile dysfunction – heart failure
• Acute
– Pulmonary edema
– hypotension

1. Murmur
– Pansystolic murmur heard at apex
2. S3
– Reflects increased volume returning to LV in
early diastole
3. LV displacement
– If LV enlargement present
MR - Diagnosis
• CXR
– Pulmonary edema if
acute
– Left atrial and
ventricular dilatation
• Echo
– Identifies structural
cause of MR
– LV /LA size and
function
MR - Treatment
• Acute MR
– Reduce the resistance
to forward flow
(Vasodilators)
– Relieve pulmonary
edema (Diuretics)
• Chronic
– Operative repair once
symptoms develop or
LV starts to dilate
Aortic Stenosis
• Thickened and
restricted
opening of
aortic valve
• Obstruction to
LV outflow

Aortic Stenosis Causes:
• Valvular
– Congenital, acquired calcific, rheumatic
• Subvalvular
– Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
• Supravalvular
– Coarctation, congenital
AS - Pathophysiology
• Blood flow across the AV is impeded
• Once AVA ↓ 50%:
– Significant LV pressure needed to drive blood into
aorta
– Results in LV hypertrophy
– ↓ LV compliance (Stiffer LV) =>
Increased end diastolic pressure
AS – Clinical Presentation
• Angina
– Imbalance b/w myocardial
oxygen supply and demand
• Syncope
– Peripheral vasodilation with
inability to augment CO
with exercise
• HF
– Increased LAP from high

– Contractile dysfunction if
longstanding pressure
overload
Symptom

Angina
5 yrs
Syncope
3 years
HF
2 years
AS -Exam
1. Carotid pulse
– Weakend (parvus) and delayed (tardus) due to LV
obstruction
2. Murmur
– Late peaking systolic ejection murmur
3. S4
– Atrial contraction into stiff LV
AS - Treatment
• Only effective treatment for severe
symptomatic disease is surgical correction
• What if asymptomatic?
– 20% of patients will progress over 20 years if
mild disease only
Aortic Regurgitation
AR - Causes
• Abnormalities of valve leaflets
– Congenital (bicuspid valves)
– Endocarditis
– Rheumatic
• Dilatation of aortic root
– Aortic aneursym
– Aortic dissection

– LVEDP rises quickly – pulmonary edema
• Chronic
– Chronic volume/pressure overload
– Dilates – well compensated
AR – Clinical Manifestations
• SOB on exertion
