Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy is a group of diseases that affect the heart muscle and cause it to enlarge and stiffen. It is often hereditary. The main types are dilated, hypertrophic, restrictive, and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. Symptoms of heart failure often occur as the condition worsens and weakens the heart. Treatment depends on severity but may include medications, surgery like implantable devices or transplant, or lifestyle changes. Family history and other conditions increasing risk. Diagnosis involves medical history, exams, and tests like ECG, echocardiogram, or stress test.
Cardiomyopathy - clinical findings
This document discusses three types of cardiomyopathy: dilated cardiomyopathy, which involves dilation of the heart ventricles and decreased contractility of the myocardium; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which involves thickening of the heart muscle and detection of abnormalities in electrocardiogram leads; and restrictive cardiomyopathy, which involves a restrictive filling phase of the ventricles and eventual heart failure.

Cardiomyopathies are diseases of the heart muscle that are classified based on etiology and functional characteristics. The main types are dilated, hypertrophic, restrictive, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. Symptoms vary depending on the type but often include heart failure symptoms like shortness of breath. Treatment focuses on managing underlying causes, controlling symptoms, preventing worsening of the disease, and reducing complications through medications, lifestyle changes, and procedures.
Cardiomegaly
Cardiomegaly is a condition where the heart is enlarged. It can be caused by conditions that make the heart work harder like high blood pressure, heart disease, or heart valve problems. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, and swelling. Diagnosis involves tests like chest x-rays, echocardiograms, and blood tests. Treatment may include medications to reduce blood pressure and swelling, surgery, lifestyle changes, and sometimes a heart transplant for severe cases.
Congestive cardiac failure irene new slide
Congestive cardiac failure is a condition where the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It can result from any cardiac disorder that impairs the ventricle's ability to deliver adequate blood flow. The main types are low-output and high-output cardiac failure. Treatment involves managing symptoms, reducing fluid volume, and correcting underlying causes. Pharmacological therapies aim to relieve symptoms, improve pump function, and include diuretics, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and other vasodilators. Lifestyle modifications like diet, exercise, and smoking cessation also play an important role in congestive cardiac failure management.

Nursing management of a patient with cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy refers to diseases of the heart muscle that impair its ability to pump blood. The main types are hypertrophic, dilated, and restrictive cardiomyopathy. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy causes thickening of the heart muscle, dilated cardiomyopathy results in enlarged heart chambers, and restrictive cardiomyopathy stiffens the heart muscle and impairs filling. Causes can be genetic, from other medical conditions, or unknown. Symptoms vary by type but commonly include heart failure signs like shortness of breath, fatigue, and fluid retention. Diagnosis involves echocardiogram, ECG, and cardiac imaging while treatment focuses on managing symptoms and underlying causes.
Ccf
Heart failure is caused by conditions that weaken the heart muscle such as coronary artery disease and hypertension. The body compensates through mechanisms like the renin-angiotensin system which cause fluid retention, edema, and increased cardiac workload worsening the failure. Treatment goals include reducing preload and afterload through diuretics and vasodilators, improving oxygenation, and increasing contractility. Medications target neurohormonal activation through ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers and aldosterone blockade. For severe cases, devices like ICDs, CRT, LVADs and transplantation are used. Lifestyle changes and treating the underlying cause are also important.
Cardiomyopathy 1223958636063843-9
Cardiomyopathy refers to diseases of the heart muscle that weaken the heart's ability to pump blood effectively. The main types are dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive cardiomyopathy. Dilated cardiomyopathy involves enlargement and weakening of the heart chambers. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy causes abnormal thickening of the heart muscle. Restrictive cardiomyopathy results in stiffening and rigidity of the heart ventricles. Cardiomyopathy can cause symptoms like fatigue, edema, and shortness of breath as the heart becomes weaker and less able to pump blood. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, stopping disease progression, and reducing complications through medications, device therapies, and possibly surgery or transplant.
Dilated cardiomyopathy
Dilated cardiomyopathy or DCM is a condition in which the heart becomes weakened and enlarged and cannot pump blood efficiently.
Dilated cardiomyopathy
The document discusses various surgical treatments for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), whose end result is often heart failure. The main treatments discussed are the Batista operation which removes part of the left ventricle to reduce its size, ventricular restoration surgery to return the heart to a more normal elliptical shape, devices to constrain or compress the ventricles, dynamic cardiomyoplasty which uses stimulated muscle to augment heart function, ventricular assist devices to partially or fully replace pump function, and heart transplantation as a last resort. Recent advances include smaller continuous flow pumps that are easier to implant.
D.cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that causes it to become enlarged, thickened, or rigid, preventing it from pumping blood properly. There are several types including dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. Symptoms can include fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, and fluid retention. Diagnosis involves physical exam, ECG, echocardiogram, cardiac MRI/CT, and biopsy. Treatment may include medications, devices, surgery, or transplantation to improve symptoms and survival. Nursing care focuses on managing symptoms, ensuring proper nutrition and activity, and health education.
Restrictive cardiomyopathy
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is characterized by impaired ventricular filling during diastole due to a primary decrease in ventricular compliance. The myocardium is partially infiltrated by noncontractile tissue or extracellular material, impairing the heart's ability to dilate. Causes include amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, and idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy. On morphology, the ventricles are normally or slightly enlarged while the cavities are not dilated. The myocardium is firm and noncompliant, and the atria show biatrial dilation. Patients experience signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure with prominent right-sided features.
Myocarditis vrs cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy and myocarditis affect the heart muscle. Cardiomyopathy is a group of diseases that affect the heart muscle, while myocarditis is an inflammation of the myocardium. The heart has four chambers and layers including the epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium. There are three main types of cardiomyopathy - dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive - which are classified based on functional patterns and ejection fraction. Causes can include genetic factors, infections, metabolic disorders, toxins, and more.

Coronary artery disease slide
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of cardiovascular disease. It is caused by plaque buildup in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. This restricts blood flow and oxygen supply to heart muscle. Symptoms include chest pain and discomfort known as angina. Diagnosis involves electrocardiograms, stress tests, imaging like angiography and echocardiograms. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes and medications to control symptoms and risk factors as well as procedures like angioplasty and stents to open blocked arteries. High dose thiamine injections showed promise in curing CAD in one research study. Proper management can help cure angina and allow those with CAD to live long, productive lives
Heart failure
Heart failure is the inability of the heart to pump sufficient blood to meet the needs of tissues. It results in fluid overload and poor tissue perfusion. It has multiple causes including reduced contractility, valve disorders, coronary artery disease, and hypertension. Symptoms vary between acute pulmonary edema with respiratory distress, and chronic fatigue and edema. Treatment involves reducing preload and afterload through medications like ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers, vasodilators, and diuretics.
Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy refers to diseases of the heart muscle that weaken the heart's ability to pump blood effectively. The three main types are dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive cardiomyopathy. Dilated cardiomyopathy causes the left ventricle to enlarge and weaken, impairing its ability to pump blood. Causes include viral infections, toxins, genetic factors, and hypertension. Symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid retention. Diagnosis involves echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, and cardiac catheterization. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms through medications, lifestyle changes, and potentially surgery or transplantation.
Ischemic Heart Disease lecture.pptx
Ischemic heart disease, also known as coronary artery disease, is caused by a reduced blood supply to the heart muscle due to atherosclerosis or plaque buildup in the coronary arteries. The main symptoms include chest pain or angina on exertion. Diagnosis involves electrocardiograms, blood tests, and cardiac stress tests. Treatment focuses on controlling risk factors like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking through medications, lifestyle changes and procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery to restore blood flow. Complications can include heart damage, heart attack and arrhythmias if not properly managed.
Cardiomyopathy
This document defines and describes various types of cardiomyopathies including dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and restrictive cardiomyopathy. It discusses their causes, risk factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management. The main types are defined as primary disorders of the heart muscle that cause abnormal function and are not caused by other cardiac diseases. Causes can include genetic/inherited factors, infections, metabolic disorders, toxins and medications. Symptoms vary from none to heart failure and arrhythmias depending on the individual and severity of disease.
Cardiomyopathies
Cardiomyopathies are a group of myocardial dysfunctions where the primary defect is within the myocardium itself and is not due to other causes like increased blood pressure, coronary artery disease, etc. There are several types of cardiomyopathies including dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, and others. Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common type, accounting for up to 90% of cases. It is characterized by progressive cardiac dilation and impaired contractility of the myocardium leading to systolic heart failure. Diagnosis involves tests like echocardiography, electrocardiography, cardiac catheterization and endomyocardial biopsy. Treatment focuses on reducing preload on the heart through medications like A
chf physiology (1).pptx
Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart muscle is weakened and cannot pump blood strongly, reducing oxygen delivery to organs and tissues. It can result from conditions that damage the heart muscle or overwork the heart. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling, and cough. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms with medications like ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, diuretics, and lifestyle changes including diet, exercise, stress reduction, and fluid intake limits. Making adjustments based on monitoring for changes is important for patient counseling in congestive heart failure management.
Congestive heart failure
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It can be caused by systolic or diastolic dysfunction. Common symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, cough, and shortness of breath. Treatment includes drugs that increase cardiac contractility, reduce fluid retention, block the renin-angiotensin system, dilate blood vessels, and reduce heart rate. New drugs like ivabradine and sacubitril/valsartan may also help lower hospitalization rates.
MI.pptx
A myocardial infarction (MI), or heart attack, occurs when blood flow to the heart is reduced or blocked, damaging the heart muscle. It is usually caused by a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries that ruptures, forming a blood clot. Risk factors include older age, smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and lack of exercise. Treatment depends on whether it is an ST-elevation MI (STEMI) or non-ST-elevation MI (NSTEMI), but generally involves unblocking arteries, reducing clots and ischemia, and modifying risk factors to prevent future heart attacks. Nursing care focuses on relieving symptoms, preventing further damage, maintaining perfusion and function, educating the

Mitral regurgitation involves blood flowing back from the left ventricle to the left atrium during systole due to issues with the mitral valve closing properly. Causes include degenerative valve changes, ischemia, and rheumatic heart disease. Symptoms include fatigue, dyspnea, and palpitations. Mitral stenosis is a narrowing of the mitral valve opening, usually caused by rheumatic fever which thickens the valve leaflets. It presents with dyspnea, orthopnea, palpitations, and hemoptysis. Both conditions are investigated using echocardiography and ECG and treated medically
Infective endocarditis sushila
This document discusses infective endocarditis, which is a microbial infection of the heart's endothelial surface. It can affect the heart valves and is characterized by vegetations that form on the valves. There are two main classifications: acute bacterial endocarditis and subacute bacterial endocarditis. Risk factors include invasive procedures, weakened valves, and immunosuppression. Symptoms may include fever, heart murmurs, and embolic complications affecting organs. Diagnosis involves blood cultures, echocardiography, and other tests. Treatment involves parenteral antibiotics for several weeks as well as surgery in some cases. Nursing care focuses on monitoring for complications and educating patients.
Cardiac dysrhythmia
This document discusses dysrhythmias, which are disorders of the heart's electrical conduction or rhythm. Dysrhythmias can be diagnosed by electrocardiogram and may cause changes in blood pressure or pumping of the heart. Common types of dysrhythmias discussed include normal sinus rhythm, sinus bradycardia, sinus tachycardia, premature atrial complexes, atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation. Nursing management focuses on treating the underlying cause, controlling heart rate, and preventing complications like stroke.
Myocarditis, pericarditis sushila
Myocarditis and pericarditis are inflammatory conditions of the heart. Myocarditis involves inflammation of the myocardium/heart muscle, and can lead to dilation of the heart chambers, thrombus formation on the heart wall, and infiltration of blood cells between muscle fibers. Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium, the sac surrounding the heart. It often begins as an acute condition but can become chronic with scarring. Both conditions have various infectious and non-infectious causes and can cause chest pain and other symptoms. Diagnosis involves ECG, blood tests, imaging modalities and biopsy. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and underlying causes.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.

Cardiomyopathy
- 1. CARDIOMYOPATHY Prepared by, Sushila Ku Hamal BNS
- 2. Introduction • Cardiomyopathy is a heart muscle disease associated with cardiac dysfunction. • It is classified according to the structural and functional abnormalities of the heart muscle: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) Restrictive or constrictive cardiomyopathy Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) Unclassified cardiomyopathy
- 3. Dilated Cardiomyopathy • In dilated cardiomyopathy the size of the ventricular cavity enlarges. • Contractile function decreases as the myocardial tissue is destroyed. • Blood moves more slowly through the left ventricle, which often results in blood clot formation. • Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most frequent type. • Dilated cardiomyopathy may be hereditary, follow infectious myocarditis, or be caused by chronic alcohol or cocaine use, HIV, thiamine or zinc deficiencies, or infections.
- 6. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is enlargement of the muscle walls of the left ventricle. • The ventricular walls are rigid, which decreases ventricular filling. • If the enlarged septum obstructs the outflow of blood through the aortic valve, it is known as obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can be a hereditary disorder that is transmitted as a dominant trait. • Sudden death in young athletes may be due to this condition and is often the first sign of the disease.
- 8. Restrictive Cardiomyopathy • Restrictive cardiomyopathy impairs ventricular stretch and limits ventricular filling. • Cardiac muscle stiffness is present, although systolic emptying of the ventricle remains normal. • Restrictive cardiomyopathy is the rarest form of cardiomyopathy. • It may be caused by infiltrative diseases such as amyloidosis that deposit the protein amyloid within the myocardial cells, which makes the muscle stiff.
- 9. Clinical Manifestations • Remain stable and without symptoms for many years • Dilated and restrictive cardiomyopathy presents with signs and symptoms of heart failure • Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, cough (especially with exertion), and orthopnea • Fluid retention, peripheral edema, and nausea caused by poor perfusion of the gastrointestinal system • Chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, nausea and syncope with exertion
- 10. Diagnostic Investigations • Physical examination in the early stage may reveal tachycardia and extra heart sounds • Echocardiogram for observation of structure and function of the ventricles • ECG demonstrates dysrhythmias • Chest x-ray film reveals heart enlargement • Cardiac catheterization is used to rule out coronary artery disease • An endomyocardial biopsy is performed to analyse myocardial tissue cells
- 11. Medical Management • Correcting the heart failure with medications, a low- sodium diet, and an exercise-rest regimen. • Controlling dysrrhythmias with antiarrhythmic medications and an implanted electronic device, such as an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. • If patients exhibit signs and symptoms of congestion, their fluid intake may be limited to 2 litres each day. • Limit physical activity in case of HCM to avoid a life- threatening dysrhythmia. • A pacemaker may be implanted to alter the electrical stimulation of the muscle.
- 12. Surgical Management • Left Ventricular outflow tract Surgery • Heart Transplantation • Mechanical Assist Devices and Total Artificial Hearts
- 13. Nursing Management Nursing Diagnosis • Decreased cardiac output related to structural disorders or to dysrhythmia from the disease process and medical treatments • Ineffective cardiopulmonary, cerebral, peripheral, and renal tissue perfusion related to decreased peripheral blood flow • Impaired gas exchange related to pulmonary congestion caused by myocardial failure (decreased cardiac output) • Activity intolerance related to decreased cardiac output or excessive fluid volume
- 14. Nursing Management Nursing Interventions • Improving cardiac output • Increasing activity tolerance • Reducing anxiety • Decreasing the sense of powerlessness
