This presentation provides an overview of cardiac failure, including its definition, types, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. Cardiac failure, also known as heart failure, occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It discusses the two main types - left and right cardiac failure - and covers the signs and symptoms. Common causes of cardiac failure include coronary artery disease, heart attack, high blood pressure, and heart muscle diseases. Diagnosis involves tests such as blood tests, electrocardiograms, and echocardiograms. Treatment focuses on medications and lifestyle changes, with surgery being less common except in some cases.
The Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) algorithm is a systematic, evidence-based approach designed to guide healthcare providers in the urgent treatment of: Cardiac arrest. Arrhythmias. Stroke. Other life-threatening cardiovascular emergencies.
Cardiac myopathy is a heart-related disorder. many types are there in cardiomyopathy .4 types of CMP is hypertrophic CMP, dilated CMP, restrictive CMP, stress CMP. causes of this are node related problem,ischemic condion of the heart .symptoms to this is chest pain breathlessness, edema like cardiacfailure will happen at last . manage mesvn t like betablockers , ace inhibitors doamine .dobutamine, and diuretics should be given to the patient .surgical manage meant is septal ablation, and heart transplantation should be given to the patient

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Definition of Cardiac Failure
Sign and symptoms of Cardiac Failure
Types of Cardiac Failure (Right and Left)
Causes of Cardiac Failure
Diagnosis of Cardiac Failure
Treatment of Cardiac Failure

4. What is Cardiac Failure?
• In medical terms cardiac failure is
defined as the condition when
heart is unable to pump enough
blood required for normal body
functions.
• Human body needs sufficient
amount of oxygen which is
supplied by heart through blood.
Heart failure or cardiac failure is
a serious condition and needs
immediate medical care.
4
6. Signs & Symptoms
• Congested Lungs
• Dyspnea (shortness of breath)
• Dizziness, Fatigue and Weakness
• Fluid and Water retention
• Peripheral Edema
• Rapid or irregular heart beats
• Most common noncardiac signs and symptoms of heart
failure include anorexia, nausea, weight loss, bloating,
weakness, oliguria (less urine output), nocturia (excess
urine output), and cerebral symptoms of varying severity,
ranging from anxiety to memory impairment and
confusion.

9. LEFT CARDIAC FAILURE
Involves the left ventricle (lower chamber) of the
heart.
Systolic failure
• The heart looses it’s ability to contract or pump
blood into the circulation.
Diastolic failure
• The heart looses it’s ability to relax because it
becomes stiff.
• Heart cannot fill properly between each beat.
9
10. Systolic and diastolic heart failure are
treated with different types of
medications.
In both types, blood may “back up” in
the lungs causing fluid to leak into the
lungs (pulmonary edema).
Fluid may also build up in tissues
throughout the body (edema).
10
11. Right CARDIAC Failure
Usually occurs as a result of left
heart failure
The right ventricle pumps blood
to the lungs for oxygen
Occasionally isolated right heart
failure can occur due to lung
disease or blood clots to the lung
(pulmonary embolism)
11
13. CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
Coronary artery disease (CAD), a disease of the arteries that supply
blood and oxygen to the heart.
Cholesterol and fatty deposits build up in the heart’s arteries
Less blood and oxygen reach the heart muscle
This causes decreased blood flow to the heart muscle and occasionally
damages the heart muscle
13
14. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
If a person has high blood pressure, this
means that his/her heart has to work
harder to push blood throughout body. To
cope with this extra effort, heart becomes
thicker and stiffer, which makes it less
able to do its job.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure doubles
a persons risk of developing heart failure.
14
15. Heart attack:
A heart attack occurs when a
coronary artery becomes suddenly
blocked, stopping the flow of blood
to the heart muscle. A heart attack
damages the heart muscle,
resulting in a scarred area that
does not function properly.
Diabetes:
Diabetes mellitus (DM) increases
the risk of heart failure (HF)
independent of coronary heart
disease and hypertension and may
cause a cardiomyopathy (damage
to the heart muscle).
15
16. OTHERS
Severe anemia
• Not enough red blood cells to carry
oxygen.
• Heart beats faster and can become
overtaxed with the effort.
Hyperthyroidism
• Body metabolism is increased and
overworks the heart.
Abnormal Heart Rhythm
• If the heart beats too fast, too slow or
irregular it may not be able to pump
enough blood to the body. 16
17. Diagnosis of Cardiac Failure
• Blood tests
• B-type Natriuretic Peptide
(BNP) blood test
• CXR (Chest X-ray)
• EKG (Echocardiogram)
• ECG (Electrocardiogram)
• EF (Ejection fraction)
17
18. TREATMENTS
Medication is the first line of treatment for heart failure. The
drugs include the following:
Diuretics (frusemide, spironolactone, metolazone)
Beta blockers (bisoprolol, carvedilol, metoprolol,
nebivolol)
ACE inhibitors (captopril, enalapril, ramipril, peridopril)
Angiotensin receptor blockers (candesartan, valsartan,
losartan)
Digoxin
Nitrates
18
20. TREATMENT OPTIONS
Surgery and other Medical
Procedures: Not often used in heart
failure unless there is a correctable
problem.
Coronary artery bypass
Angioplasty
Valve replacement
Defibrillator implantation
Heart transplantation
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) 20
22. CHANGES IN LIFESTYLE
Stop smoking
Loose weight
Avoid alcohol
Avoid or limit caffeine
Eat a low-fat, low-sodium diet
Exercise
Reduce stress
Keep track of symptoms and
weight and report any changes or
concern to the doctor
Limit fluid intake
Consult with doctor more
frequently
