This document provides an overview of heart failure (HF), also known as congestive heart failure. It defines HF as a state where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet metabolic demands, resulting in organ hypoperfusion. Common causes include cardiomyopathies, myocardial infarction, and ischemic heart disease. Symptoms include edema, shortness of breath, fatigue, and reduced exercise tolerance. Treatment focuses on reducing preload and afterload through diuretics, vasodilators, and renin-angiotensin system inhibitors to decrease workload on the heart.
This Slideshare includes the introduction of congestive heart failure, signs and symptoms, pathogenesis, epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, classification of drugs which is used to manage CHF, and recent drugs used to manage CHF.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2. Definition
• Heart failure is a physiologic state in which the
heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the
metabolic needs of the body. (oxygen
consumption) resulting in hypoperfusion of the
tissue, followed by pulmonary and systemic venous
congestion.
3. • It is clinical syndrome manifested by volume
overload, inadequate tissue perfusion, poor
exercise tolerance.
• Due to vascular congestion during heart failure, it
often called as congestive heart failure.
4. • Is also known as chronic heart failure, cardiac
decompensation, cardiac insufficiency, and
ventricular failure
5. Incidence :
• Affects at least 26 million people worldwide and is
increasing
• Affects about 5 million people every year in US
• Affects both males and females, mortality is higher
among females.
• Leading cause of hospitalization in older patients.
6. Etiology & Risk factors
Extrinsic
factors
Intrinsic
factors
Due to
Caused by
conditions
that weaken
or damage the
myocardium.
14. Pathophysiology
• Due to etiological factors
• Decrease in pumping action of the heart
• Stimulates the compensatory mechanism
a. Ventricular dilation
b. Increased sympathetic nervous system stimulation
c. Renin angiotensin system activation
d. Remodeling
e. Sustained neurohormonal activities
15. Continue..
• Increase in HR
• Increase in myocardial oxygen use
• Increase in cardiac output
• Increase preload increase afterload
• Congestive heart failure
16. 1.Increased sympathetic nervous system
stimulation
Further contraction of ventricles
Epinephrine and norepinephrine release
Vasoconstriction of arterioles
Causes increase in rate and force of contraction of ventricles
Stimulation of SNS
Decrease in BP
Due to decreased cardiac output
17. 2. Renin angiotensin system activation
Leads to increase in BP
Further causes vasoconstriction
Stimulates secretion of aldosterone by adrenal gland
Stimulate thirst center in brain
Angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction and constricts renal arterioles
Converts Angiotensin I to AngiotensinII
Acts on angiotensinogen ( which is released by liver)
Renal juxtaglomerular cells release Rennin
Decrease in BP
18. 3. Ventricular dilation
Leading to hypoxia of heart, decrease in contraction.
If stretched beyond certain point, becomes ineffective
( Starling's law)
Dilation causes increase in preload
Ventricular dilation refers to lengthening of muscle fibers of heart
chambers.
19. 4. Remodeling
Over time changes in structure, function of myocardial cells takes
place known as remodeling.
Increased wall thickness reduces wall stress
Occurs due to hypertrophy of myocardial cells and sustained
neurohormonal activation
Remodeling takes place during decompensated heart failure
21. Continue..
If the compensatory mechanism fails
Blood in left ventricle increases
Leads to more work load in heart
Leads to hypertrophy of chambers
Cannot receive blood from pulmonary veins
Leads to increase in left atrial pressure
And finally causes pulmonary edema
22.
23. Clinical manifestations:
• Shortness of breath often with activities or while lying flat
• Weakness and fatigue
• Awakening short of breath at night
• Need for increased pillows at night – helps lungs drain of
excess fluid
• Coughing or wheezing
• Swelling of feet and legs or other “dependent” areas
• Anorexia/loss of appetite • Weight gain
• Fatigue Activity decrease Cough (especially supine)
Edema Shortness of breath
24. Types of heart failure
Left ventricular
failure
Right ventricular
failure
Backward Vs
Forward
High output Vs
low output
25.
26. Left heart Failure
• Left heart failure occurs when the output of the left
ventricle is less than the total volume of blood received
from the right side of the heart via pulmonary
circulation.
• Results in congested pulmonary circuit with blood that
cannot be moved forward and the systemic blood
pressure falls.
27. Causes of left heart failure
• Myocardial infarction
• Systemic hypertension
• Aortic stenosis
• Cardiomyopathy
28. Pathophysiology of LVF
Backward effect:
Due to ventricular failure of inability to pump
Decrease emptying of left ventricle
Increase volume &end diastolic pressure
Increase volume in pulmonary veins& pressure
Increase volume in pulmonary capillary bed
Transudation of fluid from capillaries to alveoli
Filling of alveolar space
Leading to pulmonary edema
29. Forward effect
Increase blood volume and BP
Increase extracellular fluid volume
Increase secretion of sodium and water retention
Increase reabsorption of Na+ and H2O, vasoconstriction
Decrease blood flow to kidneys and glands
Decrease body tissue perfusion
Decrease in cardiac output
30. Clinical manifestations of LHF
• Dyspnea ( more in case of ventricular failure)
• Exertional Dyspnea
• Pulmonary congestion
• Orthopnea (due to increase in amount of blood returning from
lower extremities to heart and lungs)
31. Continue..
• Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea (PND: frightening sensation
of suffocation)
• Labored and wheezing respiration
• Cheyne- Strokes respiration (due to prolonged circulation
time between pul. Circulation and central nervous system)
32. Continue..
• Cough (very common in LVF: frothy, blood-tinged sputum)
• Cerebral hypoxia (causing confusion, restlessness, impaired
memory etc..)
• Fatigue and muscular weakness
• Slow removal of metabolic wastes
• Disturbed sleep and rest
• Nocturia
• Later when cardiac output declines, leads to oliguria.
34. DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION
Physical Examination/ History collection
• Bilateral crackles on auscultation.
• Inspection and palpation of precordium reveals enlarged or displaced apical
pulse.
• S3 or S4 may be heard as early finding.
• Blood tests- Like LFT, KFT & TSH, A blood test to check for a chemical called
N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) may help in diagnosing
heart failure. are peptide (small proteins) that are either hormones or part of
the peptide. They are continually produced in small quantities in the heart and
released in larger quantities when the heart senses that it needs to work
harder.
35. • Chest X-ray- heart may appear enlarged and
fluid buildup may be visible in your lungs.
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Echocardiogram
• Stress test- measure how heart and blood vessels
respond to exertion.
• Cardiac computerized tomography (CT) scan or
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
• Coronary angiogram
• Myocardial biopsy
36. Right ventricular failure
• Right heart failure occurs when the output of the
right ventricle is less than the input from the
systemic venous circuit which results in congestion
of venous circuit and decreased output to lungs.
37. Causes of RHF/RVF
• Left heart failure
• Pulmonary embolism
• COPD
• Congenital heart diseases
• Pulmonary hypertension
38. Backward effect
Peripheral edema, dependent edema, generalized edema
Increased pressure at capillary line
Increased volume in distendable organs(liver, spleen)
Increased volume in systemic venous circulation
Increased volume and pressure in the greater veins
Increase volume and pressure
Increase volume and end diastolic pressure
Decrease emptying of rt ventricle
39. Clinical manifestations
• Peripheral edema& dependent edemas
• Venous congestion of organs
• Hepatomegaly
• Abdominal pain due to Hepatomegaly
• Discomfort
• Constant aching or a sharp pain in rt upper quadrant
• Anoxia leading to necrosis of lobules of liver (cardiac
cirrhosis)
• Ascites, jaundice
• Anorexia, nausea, bloating
40. Continue..
• Cardiac cachexia (marked wasting of tissue mass)
• Anasarca
• Cynosis of nail beds
• Anxious, depressed, fear
• Insomnia
Complication:
Death
41. DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION (RHF)
Physical Examination/ History collection
• Serum BPN: Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) test is a
blood test that measures levels of a protein called BPN that
is made by heart and blood vessels. BNP levels are higher
than normal when heart failure occurs.
• S3 or S4 may be heard as early finding.
• Blood tests- Like LFT, KFT & TSH, BUN
42. continue…
• Chest X-ray- heart may appear enlarged cardiac
silhouette and congestion of lungs.
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Echocardiogram with doppler flow studies
• Stress test- measure how heart and blood vessels
respond to exertion.
• ABG ( respiratory alkalosis)
• Cardiac computerized tomography (CT) scan or
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
• Coronary angiogram
• Myocardial biopsy
43. Management
1. Reduce myocardial workload:
• Diuretics are the mainstay of treatment in patients
with volume overload. Diuretics act to decrease
sodium reabsorption at various sites within the
nephrons, thereby enhancing sodium and water
loss.
• Vasodilators. IV nitroglycerin is a vasodilator that
reduces circulating blood volume. It also improves
coronary artery circulation by dilating the coronary
arteries. Therefore nitroglycerin reduces preload,
slightly reduces afterload (in high doses), and
increases myocardial oxygen supply. When titrating
IV nitroglycerin, monitor BP frequently (every 5 to
10 minutes) to avoid symptomatic hypotension.
44. Continue..
• Sodium nitroprusside (Nipride) is a potent IV vasodilator
that reduces both preload and afterload.
• Morphine. Morphine sulfate reduces preload and
afterload.
• Positive Inotropes. Inotropic therapy increases myocardial
contractility. Drugs include β-adrenergic agonists (e.g.,
dopamine [Intropin], dobutamine [Dobutrex], epinephrine,
norepinephrine [Levophed]), the phosphodiesterase
inhibitor milrinone (Primacor), and digitalis.
