Heart Failure
Basic Definition
Heart failure is a
medical term that
describes an
inability of the heart
to keep up its work
load of pumping
blood to the lungs
and to the rest of
the body.

CLASSIFICATION OF HEART
FAILURE
NEW YORK HEART ASSOCIATION FUCTIONAL
CLASSIFICATION :
I. Pts with cardiac disease but without resulting
limitation
II. Pts with cardiac disease resulting slight
limitation of physical activity.
III. Pts with cardiac disease resulting in marked
limitation on physical activity.
IV. Pts with cardiac disease resulting in inability
to carry on any physical activity without discomfort.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
HEART DIVIDED INTO 2 PUMPING SYSTEMSRIGHT AND LEFT VENTRICLES/CARDIAC
FUNCTIONING REQUIRES EACH VENTRICLE
TO PUMP OUT EQUAL AMOUNTS OF BLOOD
CONDITIONS THAT CAUSE HEART FAILURE
MAY AFFECT ONE OR BOTH OF THE HEARTS
PUMPING SYSTEMS.
LEFT SIDE FAILS 1ST BECAUSE OF
GREATEST WORKLOAD. ONE SIZE USUALLY
LEADS TO FAILURE OF THE OTHER SIDE.

Pathophysiology

Symptoms
(involving circulation)

Fatigue or weakness
Rapid or irregular heart beat
Changes of behavior such as restlessness,
confusion, and decreased attention span

Symptoms
(involving congestion)

MANAGEMENT
MAIN GOALS OF THERAPY :
Identification and correction of the
underlying conditions
Elimination of the acute precipitating
cause of symptoms.
Treatment of the acute symptoms of
congestive heart failure
Improvement in longterm survival.
38
Treatment
When a treatable underlying cause of
congestive heart failure exists,
correcting the cause may resolve, or at
least greatly improve, the degree of
heart failure

Weigh yourself daily.
Use the same scale, and weigh yourself
first thing in the morning before breakfast.
Call the clinic if weight increases by two
pounds overnight or five pounds in a few
days.
