IDCCM, DrNB CRITICAL CARE(SR)
Statistics
 Leading cause of hospitalization
 The incidence: 1 in 1000 population per year;
increasing by about 10% every year. In >85y incidence
is 10 cases per 1000.
 The prevalence ranges from 3-20 cases per 1000
population
 Overall prevalence- developed country-2%
 Prevalence in Age> 65yrs – 6-10%
 The male to female ratio is about 2:1.
 The median age of presentation is 76 years.
 The prevalence of heart failure is increasing
because of the improved treatment of coronary heart
disease
 Developed country – risk of HF by 49yrs of age
ONE IN FIVE
Morbidity/Mortality
 Approximately 30-40% of patients with CHF are hospitalized each
year.
 50% of patients with heart failure over a 4-year period will die of
the disease
 287,000 people die annually of heart failure
 40% of patient’s admitted to the hospital die or are readmitted
within 1 year
• The 5 year mortality after Dx was reported as 60% in men and
45% in women
• Median survival of 3.2 years for men, and 5.4 years for women,
post diagnosis.
• The most common cause of death is progressive heart failure,
but sudden death may account for up to 45% of all deaths.
• Patients with coexisting IDDM have a significantly higher
mortality rate.
Definition
 Persistent NYHA functional class IIIB or IV symptoms that limit daily
activities and occur despite adequate pharmacologic treatment and is
usually associated with a left ventricular ejection fracture below 30%
 The heart’s inability to pump enough blood to meet the body’s oxygen
and nutrient demands
ESC guidelines (2016)
HFREf vs HFmrEf vs HFpEf
based on ejection fraction + symptoms & signs(Framingham criteria)
ACC-AHA GUIDELINES(2020)
Types
 Systolic (pumping problem)—inability of the heart to contract
to provide enough blood flow forward
 Diastolic (filling problem)—inability of the left ventricle to relax
normally, resulting in fluid back up into the lungs
 Left-sided—inability of the left ventricle to pump enough blood,
causing fluid back up into the lungs
 Right-sided—inefficient pumping of the right side of the heart,
causing fluid buildup in the abdomen, legs, and feet
2
The BERNHEIM EFFECT occurs when
left heart failure and left ventricular
hypertrophy causes the interventricular
septum to bulge towards the right
ventricle causing right heart failure that
sometimes precedes left heart failure.
This classically occurs in aortic valve
stenosis.
The REVERSE BERNHEIM EFFECT
occurs when there is right ventricular
pressure and volume overload that
results in the interventricular septum
bulging toward the left ventricle
causing left ventricular diastolic
impairment.
Acute vs. Chronic
 Acute—an emergency situation in which a patient was completely
asymptomatic before the onset of heart failure; seen in acute heart
injury such as MI
 Chronic—long-term syndrome in which a patient exhibits symptoms
over a long period of time, usually as a result of a preexisting cardiac
condition
Etiology
 Most common causes
 Hypertension (mc comorbidity)
 HFrEF- mc cause CAD
 Alcohol abuse(80gms of
alcohol/day for 5-10yrs)
dilated cardiomyopathy
 Non-cardiac diseases causing high-
output cardiac failure
 Anaemia(mc HOS)
 Obesity(mc HOS causing hf)
 Thyrotoxicosis
 Chronic lung diseases
 Cirrhosis
 Vit B def(beri beri)
 Myeloproliferative disorder
 Septicaemia
 Paget's disease of bone
 Arteriovenous fistulae
The activity of erythrocyte transketolase
induced by thiamine pyrophosphate and
normalized to age of the patient is a
marker of thiamine metabolism
disturbances with pathological
consequences in the central and
peripheral nervous system.
High o/p states are seldom
responsible for HF, but their
development in the presence
of underlying cardiovascular
disease can precipitate HF
Obesity-31%
Liver disease-23%
Av fistula- 23%
Lung disease- 16%
Myeloproliferative
disorder-8%
Obesity paradox-obese pt
with HF have btr prognosis
than pt with low or normal
BMI
Pathophysiology
 Summarized as an imbalance in Starlings forces or an imbalance in
the degree of end-diastolic fiber stretch proportional to the
systolic mechanical work.
 When the capacity of the lymphatic drainage is exceeded, liquid
accumulates in the interstitial spaces surrounding the bronchioles
and lung vasculature, thus creating CHF.
 When increased fluid and pressure cause tracking into the
interstitial space around the alveoli and disruption of alveolar
membrane junctions, fluid floods the alveoli and leads to
pulmonary edema
 Preload—
 The amount of
blood the heart
must pump with
each beat
 Determined by:
 Venous return
to heart
 Accompanying
stretch of the
muscle fibers
 Increasing
preload 
increase stroke
volume in normal
heart
 Increasing
preload 
impaired heart 
decreased SV.
 Blood is trapped
chamber
enlargement
 Afterload—
 The pressure that
must be
overcome for the
heart to pump
blood into the
arterial system.
 Dependent on the
systemic vascular
resistance
 With increased
afterload, the
heart muscles
must work harder
to overcome the
constricted
vascular bed 
chamber
enlargement
 Increasing the
afterload will
eventually
decrease the
cardiac output.
Other Conditions That Contribute to
Heart Failure
 Increased metabolic rate
 Iron overload
 Hypoxia
 Severe anemia
 Electrolyte abnormalities
 Cardiac dysrhythmias
 Diabetes
LV Failure with PE
• Left ventricle fails as an effective forward pump
• Back pressure of blood into the pulmonary circulation
• Pulmonary edema
• Left atrial pressure rises
• Increased pressure in the pulmonary veins and capillaries
• When pressure becomes to high, the fluid portion of the blood
is forced into the alveoli.
• Decreased oxygenation capacity of the lungs
Signs and symptoms
 Unexplained cough
 Low oxygen saturation
 Cyanosis
 Diaphoresis
 Third heart sound(S3)
 Reduced urine output
 Severe resp. distress
(orthopnea, dyspnea, PND)
 Severe apprehension, agitation,
confusion
 Dizziness and light-headedness
 Fatigue and weakness
 Pulmonary congestion
 Rales—especially at the bases.
 Rhonchi—associated with fluid
in the larger airways
 Jugular Venous Distention—not
directly related to LVF.
 Comes from back pressure building
from right heart into venous
circulation
 Vital Signs—
 Significant increase in sympathetic
discharge to compensate.
 BP—elevated
 Pulse rate—elevated to compensate
for decreased stroke volume.
 Respirations—rapid and labored
 RAP = 5+JVP
1.36
(1.36 converts venous pressure in
cmH2O to mmHg)
5 is the JVP up to the angle of louis
Calculate the estimated RAP if jvp
is found to be 10cm?
• 11mmHg
• 12mmHg
• 13mmHg
• 14mmHg
 The classic ‘a, c, v’ pattern may not always be obvious.
JVP CLASSIC TRACE-
systole diastole
LANCISI SIGN(cv waves)
Y WAVE > X WAVE
Friedreich’s sign
KUSSMAUL’S SIGN
-Mean JVP increases
during inspiration
• Constrictive pericarditis
• RV infarction
• Severe RHF
• Restrictive
cardiomyopathy
• Impaired RV compliance
ABDOMINAL-JUGULAR REFLUX
• Hepatojugular reflux- RONDOT(1898)
• Done In patient suspected to be in RHF but no raised JVP(incipient RHF)
• Apply firm pressure to periumbilical region 30-60sec(right upper quadrant)
• Normally JVP rises transiently to <1cm while abdominal pressure is continued.
• If JVP remains elevated >3cm in venous pressure for atleast 15sec after resumption of
spontaneous respiration – positive AJR
• Abd compression forces venous blood into thorax
• A failing/dilated RV is not able to receive venous return without rise in mean venous
pressure.
• Predicts HF and pcwp >15 mmHg
• Not usefull if Valsalva/breath holding
• Positive AJR – RVF/TR/COPD
Right HF
 Etiology
 Acute MI—
 Inferior MI
 Pulmonary disease
 COPD, fibrosis, HTN
 Cardiac disease involving the left
or both ventricles
 Results from LVF
 Pathophysiology
 Decreased right-sided cardiac
output or increased pulmonary
vascular resistance increased
right vent. Pressures.
 As pressures rise, this increased
pressure in the right atrium and
venous system
 Higher right atrium pressures 
JVP
• In the peripheral veins, pressures rise and the capillary pressures
increase, hydrostatic pressure exceeds that of interstitial
pressure.
• Fluid leaks from the capillaries into the surrounding tissues causing
peripheral edema
 History of HF is the most
useful historical
parameter(Sn60% and
Sp90%)-tintinalli’s EM
 Most specific symptoms
are
1. PND
2. Orthopnoea
3. Oedema
 Abdominal-jugular reflex
and JVP are the only 2
signs other than S3
which is diagnostic.
Compensatory Mechanisms
• Neurohormonal system
• Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
• Ventricular hypertrophy
Neurohormonal System
• Stimulated by decreased perfusion  secretion of hormones
 Epinephrine—
• Increases contractility
• Increases rate and pressure
• Vasoconstriction  SVR
 Vasopressin—
• Pituitary gland
• Mild vasoconstriction, renal water retention
RAAS
• Decreased renal blood flow secondary to low
cardiac output triggers renin secretion by the
kidneys
 Aldosterone is released  increase in Na+ retention  water
retention
 Preload increases
 Worsening failure
Compensatory Mechanisms:
Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System
Renin + Angiotensinogen
Angiotensin I
Angiotensin II
Peripheral
Vasoconstriction
 Afterload
 Cardiac Output
Heart Failure
 Cardiac Workload
 Preload
 Plasma Volume
Salt & Water Retention
Edema
Aldosterone Secretion
ACE
Kaliuresis
Beta
Stimulation
• CO
• Na+
Fibrosis
Ventricular Hypertrophy
• Long term compensatory mechanism
• Increases in size due to increase in work load
of skeletal muscle
VICIOUS CYCLE OF READMISSION
 In men, the 1-year survival rate
was 7% and the 5-year survival
rate was 35%.
 In women, the 1- and 5-year
survival rates were 88% and 53%,
respectively
 Weight loss>4.5 kg in 5 days in
response to treatment
Diagnostic Tests
 Medical history and physical exam
 Brain natriuretic peptide measurement
 Lab tests: complete blood cell count, metabolic panel, liver
function studies, and urinalysis
 Other tests: thyroid function tests and fasting lipid profile
• B-type natriuretic peptide, also called brain-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), was first
described in 1988 after isolation from porcine brain.
• However, it was soon found to originate mainly from the heart, representing a cardiac
hormone.
• Major source of BNP synthesis and secretion is the ventricular myocardium.
• Small amounts of BNP are stored in granules and rapid gene expression with de novo
synthesis of the peptide is the underlying mechanism for the regulation of BNP
secretion
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
DIAGNOSIS IN HEART FAILURE
Emergency room setting:
BREATHING NOT PROPERLY STUDY
 N-terminal pro BNP has a diagnostic accuracy similar
to that of BNP.
 N-terminal proBNP Investigation of Dyspnoea in the
Emergency department (PRIDE) study and
 The International Collaboration of NT-proBNP
(ICON) study
The diagnostic role of NT-proBNP in patients presenting
with the cardinal symptom of shortness of breath has been
established.
In these studies, a cut-off value for NTpro BNP of 300
pg/ml to exclude heart failure was determined.
FOR HFpEF AND OTHER HF - BNP>35pg/ml AND NT-proBNP
>125pg/ml – ESC 2021 GUIDELINES
INCREASED LEVELS
 Increasing age
 Acute coronary syndrome
 Pulmonary hypertension
 Pulmonary embolism
 Anaemia
 Severe burns
 copd
 Atrial fibrillation
 Renal Failure
 SAH/stroke
 Thyrotox/DKA
DECREASED LEVELS
 Obesity
 Burnt out cardiomyopathy
(myocardium is thinned out
already)
 Flash pulmonary edema.
 Acute MR
 Constrictive
pericarditis(Braunwald 11th
edition)
NEET SS 2021
Caveats in using Natriuretic peptide
levels
Other causes
• Pulmonary hypertension , RV dysfunction secondary to pulmonary embolism, and
cor pulmonale.
• Interpret with History and clinical features of HF/Prior diuretic use
Causes for Elevated
Natriuretic Peptide Levels
Cardiac Noncardiac
 Heart failure, including RV
syndromes
 Acute coronary syndrome
 Heart muscle disease, including
LVH
 Valvular heart disease
 Pericardial disease
 Atrial fibrillation
 Myocarditis
 Cardiac surgery
 Cardioversion
 Advancing age
 Anemia
 Renal failure
 Pulmonary causes: obstructive
sleep apnea, severe pneumonia,
pulmonary hypertension
 Critical illness
 Bacterial sepsis
 Severe burns
 Toxic-metabolic insults, including
cancer chemotherapy and
envenomation
Renal disease
 Cut-off concentrations for detecting HF to be raised
when estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is <
60 ml/min.
 No additional adjustment seems necessary for NT-
proBNP once using age-adjusted rule in cut off.
 For BNP, the effect of renal dysfunction overall is
smaller, and increasing the rule-out cut-off to 200
pg/mL rather than 100 pg/mL seems sufficient.
OBESITY
 Concentrations of BNP, NT-proBNP and are lower in
obese persons (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) both with and
without HF.
 This may be due to suppression of the bnp gene by
circulating factors such as androgens that produced
by adipose tissue.
 To optimize diagnostic accuracy, lowering the
established cut-off concentrations by up to 50% in
obese patients is reasonable.
OTHER
Diagnostic Tests
 Echocardiogram to assess
ejection fraction (LVEF)-
most imp parameter
 Chest X-ray(KERLEY LINES)
 ECG
 Cardiac stress test
 Cardiac catheterization
 Cardiac computed
tomography scan or
magnetic resonance
imaging
 Radionuclide ventriculography
 Ambulatory ECG monitoring
(Holter monitor)
 Pulmonary function tests
 Heart biopsy
 Exercise testing (6-minute walk)
 CARDIAC MRI- gold standard for
LV mass and volume assessment
 A diagnosis of diastolic heart failure requires the
presence of all the following features:
 The presence of symptoms or signs of heart
failure.
 The presence of normal or slightly reduced left
ventricular (LV) systolic function.
 Evidence of abnormal LV relaxation and filling,
diastolic distensibility, and diastolic stiffness.
 The second feature is readily diagnosed by routine
echocardiography. The third, however, can only be
diagnosed by Doppler echocardiography, which is
not routinely available, or by cardiac
catheterization.
Differential Diagnosis
 Other causes of shortness of breath on exertion - e.g. pulmonary
disease, obesity, unfitness, volume overload from renal failure or
nephrotic syndrome, angina, anxiety.
 Other causes of peripheral oedema - e.g. dependent oedema,
nephrotic syndrome.
 Non-cardiac diseases causing high-output cardiac failure
Mc cause of death in NYHA2- sudden cardiac arrest
Mc cause of death in NYHA4- progressive pump failure
Prognostic Features
 Demographic: Advanced age, sex, Ischemic etiology
 Symptoms: NYHA class IV, Syncope
 Signs: Chronic S3, Right heart Failure, ↑ JVP, Mod-Severe MR/TR
 Laboratory: Na+, Creatinine, Anemia, Cardiothoracic Ratio, LVEDD
 ECG: QRS or QT prolongation, NSVT, VT
 Hemodynamic: LVEF, PCWP, CI
 Excersice: 6 MWT, Peak VO2
 Neurohormonal: Plasma Norepinephrine, ANP, BNP
 A total of 245 prevalent heart failure cases (88 men, 157 women) were identified
at baseline in the Rotterdam Study.
 In the remaining study population (n=7734), we identified 725 incident cases of heart
failure (335 men, 390 women), of whom 673 were classified as definite, and 52 as
probable cases.
 5 yr mortality- 50%
Staging & Severity
 After all data are gathered, cause and classification can be
determined and an appropriate treatment plan
 Two well-accepted classification systems used: ACC/AHA stages of
heart failure and NYHA functional classifications
NYHA Grading
 Not used unless heart
disease is present.
 1 year mortality rate:
 Class I - <5%
 Class II – 10-15%
 Class III – 20-30%
 Class IV – 30-70%
 Orthopnoea is
included in NYHA
and not PND
NYHA vs WHO-FC
FDPA vs FDSA
Classification of Heart Failure
ACCF/AHA Stages of HF
A At high risk for HF but without structural heart disease or symptoms of HF.
B Structural heart disease but without signs or symptoms of HF.
C Structural heart disease with prior or current symptoms of HF.
D Refractory HF requiring specialized interventions.
Clinical Events and Findings
Useful for Identifying Patients With
Advanced HF
Repeated (≥2) hospitalizations or ED visits for HF in the past year
Progressive deterioration in renal function (e.g., rise in BUN and creatinine)
Weight loss without other cause (e.g., cardiac cachexia)
Intolerance to ACE inhibitors due to hypotension and/or worsening renal function
Intolerance to beta blockers due to worsening HF or hypotension
Frequent systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg
Persistent dyspnea with dressing or bathing requiring rest
Inability to walk 1 block on the level ground due to dyspnea or fatigue
Recent need to escalate diuretics to maintain volume status, often reaching daily
furosemide equivalent dose >160 mg/d and/or use of supplemental metolazone therapy
Progressive decline in serum sodium, usually to <133 mEq/L
Frequent ICD shocks

heart failure PART-1.pptx

  • 1. APPROACH TO HEART FAILURE IN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT PART-1 Dr ASHISH NAIR MBBS,MD ANAESTHESIA, IDCCM, DrNB CRITICAL CARE(SR)
  • 2. Statistics  Leading cause of hospitalization  The incidence: 1 in 1000 population per year; increasing by about 10% every year. In >85y incidence is 10 cases per 1000.  The prevalence ranges from 3-20 cases per 1000 population  Overall prevalence- developed country-2%  Prevalence in Age> 65yrs – 6-10%  The male to female ratio is about 2:1.  The median age of presentation is 76 years.  The prevalence of heart failure is increasing because of the improved treatment of coronary heart disease  Developed country – risk of HF by 49yrs of age ONE IN FIVE
  • 3. Morbidity/Mortality  Approximately 30-40% of patients with CHF are hospitalized each year.  50% of patients with heart failure over a 4-year period will die of the disease  287,000 people die annually of heart failure  40% of patient’s admitted to the hospital die or are readmitted within 1 year • The 5 year mortality after Dx was reported as 60% in men and 45% in women • Median survival of 3.2 years for men, and 5.4 years for women, post diagnosis. • The most common cause of death is progressive heart failure, but sudden death may account for up to 45% of all deaths. • Patients with coexisting IDDM have a significantly higher mortality rate.
  • 4. Definition  Persistent NYHA functional class IIIB or IV symptoms that limit daily activities and occur despite adequate pharmacologic treatment and is usually associated with a left ventricular ejection fracture below 30%  The heart’s inability to pump enough blood to meet the body’s oxygen and nutrient demands
  • 5. ESC guidelines (2016) HFREf vs HFmrEf vs HFpEf based on ejection fraction + symptoms & signs(Framingham criteria)
  • 7.
  • 8. Types  Systolic (pumping problem)—inability of the heart to contract to provide enough blood flow forward  Diastolic (filling problem)—inability of the left ventricle to relax normally, resulting in fluid back up into the lungs  Left-sided—inability of the left ventricle to pump enough blood, causing fluid back up into the lungs  Right-sided—inefficient pumping of the right side of the heart, causing fluid buildup in the abdomen, legs, and feet
  • 9. 2
  • 10. The BERNHEIM EFFECT occurs when left heart failure and left ventricular hypertrophy causes the interventricular septum to bulge towards the right ventricle causing right heart failure that sometimes precedes left heart failure. This classically occurs in aortic valve stenosis. The REVERSE BERNHEIM EFFECT occurs when there is right ventricular pressure and volume overload that results in the interventricular septum bulging toward the left ventricle causing left ventricular diastolic impairment.
  • 11. Acute vs. Chronic  Acute—an emergency situation in which a patient was completely asymptomatic before the onset of heart failure; seen in acute heart injury such as MI  Chronic—long-term syndrome in which a patient exhibits symptoms over a long period of time, usually as a result of a preexisting cardiac condition
  • 12.
  • 13.
  • 14.
  • 15. Etiology  Most common causes  Hypertension (mc comorbidity)  HFrEF- mc cause CAD  Alcohol abuse(80gms of alcohol/day for 5-10yrs) dilated cardiomyopathy  Non-cardiac diseases causing high- output cardiac failure  Anaemia(mc HOS)  Obesity(mc HOS causing hf)  Thyrotoxicosis  Chronic lung diseases  Cirrhosis  Vit B def(beri beri)  Myeloproliferative disorder  Septicaemia  Paget's disease of bone  Arteriovenous fistulae The activity of erythrocyte transketolase induced by thiamine pyrophosphate and normalized to age of the patient is a marker of thiamine metabolism disturbances with pathological consequences in the central and peripheral nervous system. High o/p states are seldom responsible for HF, but their development in the presence of underlying cardiovascular disease can precipitate HF Obesity-31% Liver disease-23% Av fistula- 23% Lung disease- 16% Myeloproliferative disorder-8% Obesity paradox-obese pt with HF have btr prognosis than pt with low or normal BMI
  • 16.
  • 17. Pathophysiology  Summarized as an imbalance in Starlings forces or an imbalance in the degree of end-diastolic fiber stretch proportional to the systolic mechanical work.  When the capacity of the lymphatic drainage is exceeded, liquid accumulates in the interstitial spaces surrounding the bronchioles and lung vasculature, thus creating CHF.  When increased fluid and pressure cause tracking into the interstitial space around the alveoli and disruption of alveolar membrane junctions, fluid floods the alveoli and leads to pulmonary edema
  • 18.
  • 19.  Preload—  The amount of blood the heart must pump with each beat  Determined by:  Venous return to heart  Accompanying stretch of the muscle fibers  Increasing preload  increase stroke volume in normal heart  Increasing preload  impaired heart  decreased SV.  Blood is trapped chamber enlargement  Afterload—  The pressure that must be overcome for the heart to pump blood into the arterial system.  Dependent on the systemic vascular resistance  With increased afterload, the heart muscles must work harder to overcome the constricted vascular bed  chamber enlargement  Increasing the afterload will eventually decrease the cardiac output.
  • 20. Other Conditions That Contribute to Heart Failure  Increased metabolic rate  Iron overload  Hypoxia  Severe anemia  Electrolyte abnormalities  Cardiac dysrhythmias  Diabetes
  • 21.
  • 22. LV Failure with PE • Left ventricle fails as an effective forward pump • Back pressure of blood into the pulmonary circulation • Pulmonary edema • Left atrial pressure rises • Increased pressure in the pulmonary veins and capillaries • When pressure becomes to high, the fluid portion of the blood is forced into the alveoli. • Decreased oxygenation capacity of the lungs
  • 23. Signs and symptoms  Unexplained cough  Low oxygen saturation  Cyanosis  Diaphoresis  Third heart sound(S3)  Reduced urine output  Severe resp. distress (orthopnea, dyspnea, PND)  Severe apprehension, agitation, confusion  Dizziness and light-headedness  Fatigue and weakness  Pulmonary congestion  Rales—especially at the bases.  Rhonchi—associated with fluid in the larger airways
  • 24.

  • 26.
  • 27.
  • 28.  Jugular Venous Distention—not directly related to LVF.  Comes from back pressure building from right heart into venous circulation  Vital Signs—  Significant increase in sympathetic discharge to compensate.  BP—elevated  Pulse rate—elevated to compensate for decreased stroke volume.  Respirations—rapid and labored  RAP = 5+JVP 1.36 (1.36 converts venous pressure in cmH2O to mmHg) 5 is the JVP up to the angle of louis Calculate the estimated RAP if jvp is found to be 10cm? • 11mmHg • 12mmHg • 13mmHg • 14mmHg
  • 29.  The classic ‘a, c, v’ pattern may not always be obvious. JVP CLASSIC TRACE- systole diastole
  • 30.
  • 31. LANCISI SIGN(cv waves) Y WAVE > X WAVE Friedreich’s sign
  • 32. KUSSMAUL’S SIGN -Mean JVP increases during inspiration • Constrictive pericarditis • RV infarction • Severe RHF • Restrictive cardiomyopathy • Impaired RV compliance ABDOMINAL-JUGULAR REFLUX • Hepatojugular reflux- RONDOT(1898) • Done In patient suspected to be in RHF but no raised JVP(incipient RHF) • Apply firm pressure to periumbilical region 30-60sec(right upper quadrant) • Normally JVP rises transiently to <1cm while abdominal pressure is continued. • If JVP remains elevated >3cm in venous pressure for atleast 15sec after resumption of spontaneous respiration – positive AJR • Abd compression forces venous blood into thorax • A failing/dilated RV is not able to receive venous return without rise in mean venous pressure. • Predicts HF and pcwp >15 mmHg • Not usefull if Valsalva/breath holding • Positive AJR – RVF/TR/COPD
  • 33. Right HF  Etiology  Acute MI—  Inferior MI  Pulmonary disease  COPD, fibrosis, HTN  Cardiac disease involving the left or both ventricles  Results from LVF  Pathophysiology  Decreased right-sided cardiac output or increased pulmonary vascular resistance increased right vent. Pressures.  As pressures rise, this increased pressure in the right atrium and venous system  Higher right atrium pressures  JVP
  • 34. • In the peripheral veins, pressures rise and the capillary pressures increase, hydrostatic pressure exceeds that of interstitial pressure. • Fluid leaks from the capillaries into the surrounding tissues causing peripheral edema
  • 35.
  • 36.
  • 37.  History of HF is the most useful historical parameter(Sn60% and Sp90%)-tintinalli’s EM  Most specific symptoms are 1. PND 2. Orthopnoea 3. Oedema  Abdominal-jugular reflex and JVP are the only 2 signs other than S3 which is diagnostic.
  • 38. Compensatory Mechanisms • Neurohormonal system • Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system • Ventricular hypertrophy
  • 39. Neurohormonal System • Stimulated by decreased perfusion  secretion of hormones  Epinephrine— • Increases contractility • Increases rate and pressure • Vasoconstriction  SVR  Vasopressin— • Pituitary gland • Mild vasoconstriction, renal water retention
  • 40.
  • 41. RAAS • Decreased renal blood flow secondary to low cardiac output triggers renin secretion by the kidneys  Aldosterone is released  increase in Na+ retention  water retention  Preload increases  Worsening failure

  • 46.  In men, the 1-year survival rate was 7% and the 5-year survival rate was 35%.  In women, the 1- and 5-year survival rates were 88% and 53%, respectively
  • 47.  Weight loss>4.5 kg in 5 days in response to treatment
  • 48. Diagnostic Tests  Medical history and physical exam  Brain natriuretic peptide measurement  Lab tests: complete blood cell count, metabolic panel, liver function studies, and urinalysis  Other tests: thyroid function tests and fasting lipid profile
  • 49.
  • 50.
  • 51. • B-type natriuretic peptide, also called brain-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), was first described in 1988 after isolation from porcine brain. • However, it was soon found to originate mainly from the heart, representing a cardiac hormone. • Major source of BNP synthesis and secretion is the ventricular myocardium. • Small amounts of BNP are stored in granules and rapid gene expression with de novo synthesis of the peptide is the underlying mechanism for the regulation of BNP secretion
  • 52. CLINICAL APPLICATIONS DIAGNOSIS IN HEART FAILURE Emergency room setting: BREATHING NOT PROPERLY STUDY
  • 53.
  • 54.  N-terminal pro BNP has a diagnostic accuracy similar to that of BNP.  N-terminal proBNP Investigation of Dyspnoea in the Emergency department (PRIDE) study and  The International Collaboration of NT-proBNP (ICON) study The diagnostic role of NT-proBNP in patients presenting with the cardinal symptom of shortness of breath has been established. In these studies, a cut-off value for NTpro BNP of 300 pg/ml to exclude heart failure was determined.
  • 55.
  • 56.
  • 57.
  • 58. FOR HFpEF AND OTHER HF - BNP>35pg/ml AND NT-proBNP >125pg/ml – ESC 2021 GUIDELINES
  • 59.
  • 60. INCREASED LEVELS  Increasing age  Acute coronary syndrome  Pulmonary hypertension  Pulmonary embolism  Anaemia  Severe burns  copd  Atrial fibrillation  Renal Failure  SAH/stroke  Thyrotox/DKA DECREASED LEVELS  Obesity  Burnt out cardiomyopathy (myocardium is thinned out already)  Flash pulmonary edema.  Acute MR  Constrictive pericarditis(Braunwald 11th edition) NEET SS 2021
  • 61. Caveats in using Natriuretic peptide levels Other causes • Pulmonary hypertension , RV dysfunction secondary to pulmonary embolism, and cor pulmonale. • Interpret with History and clinical features of HF/Prior diuretic use
  • 62. Causes for Elevated Natriuretic Peptide Levels Cardiac Noncardiac  Heart failure, including RV syndromes  Acute coronary syndrome  Heart muscle disease, including LVH  Valvular heart disease  Pericardial disease  Atrial fibrillation  Myocarditis  Cardiac surgery  Cardioversion  Advancing age  Anemia  Renal failure  Pulmonary causes: obstructive sleep apnea, severe pneumonia, pulmonary hypertension  Critical illness  Bacterial sepsis  Severe burns  Toxic-metabolic insults, including cancer chemotherapy and envenomation
  • 63. Renal disease  Cut-off concentrations for detecting HF to be raised when estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is < 60 ml/min.  No additional adjustment seems necessary for NT- proBNP once using age-adjusted rule in cut off.  For BNP, the effect of renal dysfunction overall is smaller, and increasing the rule-out cut-off to 200 pg/mL rather than 100 pg/mL seems sufficient.
  • 64. OBESITY  Concentrations of BNP, NT-proBNP and are lower in obese persons (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) both with and without HF.  This may be due to suppression of the bnp gene by circulating factors such as androgens that produced by adipose tissue.  To optimize diagnostic accuracy, lowering the established cut-off concentrations by up to 50% in obese patients is reasonable.
  • 65.
  • 66. OTHER Diagnostic Tests  Echocardiogram to assess ejection fraction (LVEF)- most imp parameter  Chest X-ray(KERLEY LINES)  ECG  Cardiac stress test  Cardiac catheterization  Cardiac computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging  Radionuclide ventriculography  Ambulatory ECG monitoring (Holter monitor)  Pulmonary function tests  Heart biopsy  Exercise testing (6-minute walk)  CARDIAC MRI- gold standard for LV mass and volume assessment
  • 67.
  • 68.
  • 69.  A diagnosis of diastolic heart failure requires the presence of all the following features:  The presence of symptoms or signs of heart failure.  The presence of normal or slightly reduced left ventricular (LV) systolic function.  Evidence of abnormal LV relaxation and filling, diastolic distensibility, and diastolic stiffness.  The second feature is readily diagnosed by routine echocardiography. The third, however, can only be diagnosed by Doppler echocardiography, which is not routinely available, or by cardiac catheterization.
  • 70. Differential Diagnosis  Other causes of shortness of breath on exertion - e.g. pulmonary disease, obesity, unfitness, volume overload from renal failure or nephrotic syndrome, angina, anxiety.  Other causes of peripheral oedema - e.g. dependent oedema, nephrotic syndrome.  Non-cardiac diseases causing high-output cardiac failure
  • 71. Mc cause of death in NYHA2- sudden cardiac arrest Mc cause of death in NYHA4- progressive pump failure
  • 72. Prognostic Features  Demographic: Advanced age, sex, Ischemic etiology  Symptoms: NYHA class IV, Syncope  Signs: Chronic S3, Right heart Failure, ↑ JVP, Mod-Severe MR/TR  Laboratory: Na+, Creatinine, Anemia, Cardiothoracic Ratio, LVEDD  ECG: QRS or QT prolongation, NSVT, VT  Hemodynamic: LVEF, PCWP, CI  Excersice: 6 MWT, Peak VO2  Neurohormonal: Plasma Norepinephrine, ANP, BNP
  • 73.  A total of 245 prevalent heart failure cases (88 men, 157 women) were identified at baseline in the Rotterdam Study.  In the remaining study population (n=7734), we identified 725 incident cases of heart failure (335 men, 390 women), of whom 673 were classified as definite, and 52 as probable cases.  5 yr mortality- 50%
  • 74. Staging & Severity  After all data are gathered, cause and classification can be determined and an appropriate treatment plan  Two well-accepted classification systems used: ACC/AHA stages of heart failure and NYHA functional classifications
  • 75. NYHA Grading  Not used unless heart disease is present.  1 year mortality rate:  Class I - <5%  Class II – 10-15%  Class III – 20-30%  Class IV – 30-70%  Orthopnoea is included in NYHA and not PND NYHA vs WHO-FC FDPA vs FDSA
  • 76. Classification of Heart Failure ACCF/AHA Stages of HF A At high risk for HF but without structural heart disease or symptoms of HF. B Structural heart disease but without signs or symptoms of HF. C Structural heart disease with prior or current symptoms of HF. D Refractory HF requiring specialized interventions.
  • 77.
  • 78. Clinical Events and Findings Useful for Identifying Patients With Advanced HF Repeated (≥2) hospitalizations or ED visits for HF in the past year Progressive deterioration in renal function (e.g., rise in BUN and creatinine) Weight loss without other cause (e.g., cardiac cachexia) Intolerance to ACE inhibitors due to hypotension and/or worsening renal function Intolerance to beta blockers due to worsening HF or hypotension Frequent systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg Persistent dyspnea with dressing or bathing requiring rest Inability to walk 1 block on the level ground due to dyspnea or fatigue Recent need to escalate diuretics to maintain volume status, often reaching daily furosemide equivalent dose >160 mg/d and/or use of supplemental metolazone therapy Progressive decline in serum sodium, usually to <133 mEq/L Frequent ICD shocks Adapted from Russell et al.
