HTN calculate EF - ANSWER -SV/LVEDV synonym for inotropy - ANSWER -contraction (HFrEF) synonym for lusitropy - ANSWER -relaxation (HFpEF) two organizations for classification of HF - ANSWER -1. American Heart Assocation (A,B,C,D) - based on structure 2. New York Heart Association (None, I, I, II, III, IV, V) - based on physical activity limitations how to distinguish cardiac dysfunction versus cardiac HF - ANSWER -
cardiac dysfunction has structural abnormalities w/o symptoms once a patient develops symptoms along with structural abnormalities, they have HF effects of circulating angiotensin II on HF - ANSWER -- causes vasoconstriction - increases secretion of ADH - increase aldosterone secretion - increases sodium reabsorption are aldosterone levels high or low in HF? - ANSWER -20x higher than normal compensatory mechanisms for HF - ANSWER -1. Hemodynamics (Frank Starling Law) - can give inotropes as short term use to increase contractility (long -term can cause mortality) 2. SNS activation (increase contractility, tachycardia, vasoconstriction) 3. RAAS activation (angiotensin II binds to AT 1 Receptor - vasoconstriction) two types of angiotensin II - ANSWER -1. circulating 2. tissue -derived effects of aldosterone on HF - ANSWER -- increases sodium and water reabsorption - decreased potassium and magnesium - decreased baroreceptor reflex - sympathetic activation
