Diagnostics
Treatment Options
Lifestyle Modifications Dietary Adjustments
Diuretics
Beta-blockers
ACE Inhibitors
Digitalis
Aspirin
Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors
Action:
o Inhibit enzymatic conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II
Therapeutics
o Decreases Afterload
• Blocking production of Angiotensin II
o Decreases Preload
• Inhibiting Aldosterone release by Adrenal Cortex
Adverse Effects
o Hypotension
o Diminished Renal Function
o Hyperkalemia
o Cough
Beta-Blockers
Action
o Inhibition of the Sympathetic Nervous System to slow AV node
conduction
Therapeutics
o Prevention of tachyarrhythmia's
o Slow the progression of heart failure
Adverse Effects
o Potential worsening of dyspnea or edema
o Symptomatic bradycardia w/ or w/o hypotension
o Lightheadedness or dizziness
o Bronchospasm
Digitalis Glycosides
• Digoxin
– Action
• Inhibits sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (ATP-ase)
activity on myocardium
– Therapeutics
• Positive Inotrope
– Adverse Effects
• Ventricular arrhythmias
• Heart block
• GI: Anorexia, nausea, vomiting
• Visual disturbances
Diuretics: Thiazide, Loop, Potassium-sparing
• Action
– Inhibit the reabsorption of sodium & chloride at different sites along
the renal tubules
• Therapeutics
– Reduction of symptoms in fluid overload (dyspnea, edema, etc.)
• Adverse Effects
– Electrolyte Imbalances
– Dehydration
Antiplatelet: Aspirin
Anticoagulant: Warfarin
• Action
– Disruptions of clotting cascade mechanisms
• Therapeutics
– Reduction of ischemic events
• Adverse Effects
– Bruising
– Bleeding
Invasive Treatment
• Cardiac Resynchronization
Therapy
– Placement of electrical leads into
the heart from a device that results
in simultaneous biventricular
contraction
• Ventricular Assist Devices
– Permits a period of myocardial
arrest by redirecting blood volume
from the left ventricle and back to
the aorta for distribution to the
body
Surgical Treatment
• Interventions
– Heart Transplantation
– Valve Replacement (Mitral Regurgitation/Stenosis)
– Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
– Left Ventricular Chamber Reduction
– Endovascular Patchplasty (Dacron Patch)
– Cardiomyoplasty
Co-morbidities
• Pulmonary Complications
– Dyspnea
– Pulmonary Edema
– Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease (COPD)
• Renal Impairment
• Cardiovascular
– Atrial Fibrillation
– Coronary Artery Disease
– Hypertension
Chronic Disease Care
• Wagner’s Chronic Care Model: Providing
Evidence-Based Care to People with Chronic
Diseases
Chronic Condition
• Recent data
– More than 145 million people live with a chronic
condition
– Chronically ill population of 171 million projected
by 2030
– Gaps in quality care
– Best practices
• avoid an estimated 41 million sick days and more than $11
billion annually in lost productivity.

Chronic Care Model
The Community
Lorig KR, Sobel DS, Stewart AL, Brown Jr BW, Ritter PL, González VM, Laurent DD, Holman HR. Evidence suggesting that a chronic disease self-management program
can improve health status while reducing utilization and costs: A randomized trial. Medical Care, 1999; 37(1):5-14.
Essential Elements of Good
Chronic Illness Care
Informed, Prepared
Activated
Productive Practice
Patient Interactions Team
Wagner EH, Davis C, Schaefer J, Von Korff M, Austin B. A survey of leading chronic disease management programs: Are
they consistent with the literature? Managed Care Quarterly. 1999; 7(3):56-66
Chronic Care Model
Results
Improvement in process and outcome measures
compared to controls
Improved patient empowerment and education scores
decreased cost of care
Improved patient compliance with treatment regimen
with decreased ED visits or hospitalizations
Improved cost-effectiveness with a decrease in overall
cost of care
Improved quality of life for patients
Have an Agenda
– Determine the agenda for planned interactions (like a routine physical or a
prenatal visit) to assure that critical parts of the care are not overlooked.
– Planned visits can be either 1:1 or in groups.
Intensive Attention
– The use of a clinical case manager for patients with complex needs, or
engaged in an acute transition or exacerbation has been shown to be effective.
Self Management
Support
The 5A’s Technique
• The best tested strategy to support self-management employs the
5A’s.
1. Assessment includes not only knowledge but beliefs and
behavior.
2. Advice needs to be linked to scientific evidence, not provider
biases.
3. Agree on goals that are important to patients and actions to
reach them.
4. Assist by identifying barriers and problem-solving to deal with
them.
5. Arrange a specific follow-up plan including utilizing internal
and community resources to provide ongoing self-management
support to patients.

Delivery System Design
Key Components
Clinical involvement of the non-physician care team members.
– Increase involvement of non-physician care team members
– Teams discuss the work they do, how they are going to do it,
and how to improve on it.

prenatal visit) to assure that critical parts of the care are not overlooked.

Nursing Plan of Care
Information
This letter should be given to
each CHF patient upon
admission. This will help
patients understand their plan
of care and what to expect
while hospitalized,
