Etiology
Coronary artery disease major cause in developed
countries (60-75%) because of their diet or food
such as steak, burger and fries.
Hypertension (75%)
20-30% of depressed EF is unknown cause
- Non-ischemic (no vascular occlusion), dilated
or idiopathic
» Secondary factors: Viral infection, the
most common cause or toxin exposure
(alcohol/chemo) - So that’s why if the
patient will receive chemotherapy, we
should always assess the heart’s function.
We ask the patient to have baseline
echocardiogram because once the
patient is exposed to chemo, for example
those with breast cancer, when they are
exposed to Doxorubicin which is
cardiotoxic, then this patient might have » Infarction - complete or partial obstruction of flow
MED | HEART FAILURE T1
» Infection - because of the impairment of rhythm of
the hear, exposure to chronic tachycardia and
bradycardia can lead to HF
» Hypertension can be a cause of preload and
afterload HF.
» Note nutritional status of the patient.
Global Consideration
Rheumatic heart disease - Africa and Asia -
because of the presence of tooth decay, dental
caries, people exposed to too much sweets without
proper oral hygiene can lead to RHD.
Coronary Artery disease – Western Europe and
North America because of their diet.
Chagas disease – South America
Hypertension – African and African-American
population
Anemia – developing countries because of poor
nutrition.

30-40% of patients die within 1 year of diagnosis event, whether MI, exposure to high output failure,
60-70% die within 5 years – worsening HF or cor pulmonale or other cases such as chemo or
ventricular arrhythmia alcohol. This will lead to reduced EF. Initially the
Patients with symptoms at rest have 30-70% patient’s heart is still small. At this time, during the

mortality rate of 5-10% RAAS. There will be production of different
elements such ANP, BNP, aldosterone, renin,
vasopressin, those mechanisms will try to protect
the heart initially. So at that time, the patient’s heart
is not yet reorganized. Normal function and normal
structure but decreased blood flow. At that time,
patient will remain asymptomatic. As the years by,
there is chronic exposure to low blood flow to the
coronaries. There will be still impairment of the
nutrition of the heart. There is chronic exposure to
this elements. Initially, it is good because it will help
increase contractility and compensate for low
cardiac output. However, due to chronic exposure
to these elements, there will be reorganization of
the myofibrils. If the ER is reorganization of the
myofibrils, decrease ATP, the patient’s heart will be
exposure to lactic acidosis. There will be decrease
in the EF over time because of this chronic
exposure to RAAS, there will be reorganization of
myofibrils. Expulsion of calcium intracellular.
Presence of chronic aldosterone which can cause
fibrosis of myofibrils, this will lead to stiffening of the
heart. If there is stiffening of the heart, relaxation
will be impaired. There will be increased volume,
the myocardium will be stretched leading to
regurgitation. Symptoms will appear.

Treatment

target the underlying pulmonary disease
General principles of treatment include noninvasive
mechanical ventilation and bronchodilators
Treat infection
Adequate oxygenation (oxygen saturation 90-92%)
and correcting respiratory acidosis are vital for
decreasing pulmonary vascular resistance and
reducing demands on the RV

CARDIOGENIC SHOCK
Most common etiology – severe left ventricular
dysfunction

hypoperfusion

o Severe depression of the cardiac index
(<2.2 [L/min]/m2) thru 2D echo
o Sustained systolic arterial hypotension
(<90 mmHg) despite an elevated filling
pressure [PCWP] >18mmHg
Caused by primarily myocardial failure
Most commonly secondary to acute myocardial
infarction
Less frequently by cardiomyopathy or myocarditis,
cardiac tamponade (>50ml fluid in the pericardial
cavity decreases relaxation of the heart), or critical
valvular heart disease
50% - mortality
Rate complicating acute MI was 20%
But decrased to 5-7% due to increasing use of early
repurfusion therapy like streptokinase and early
angioplasty
Most common with STEMI
LV failure accounts account for ~80% of cases of
CS complicating acute MI
o Acute severe mitral regurgitation- most
common
o Ventricular septal rupture
o Predominant right ventricular (RV) failure,
and free wall rupture
