 Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome that
occurs in patients who, because of an
inherited or acquired abnormality of cardiac
structure and/or function, develop a
constellation of clinical symptoms (dyspnea
and fatigue) and signs (edema and rales) that
lead to frequent hospitalizations, a poor
quality of life, and a shortened life expectancy
DEFINITION
 CARDIAC OUTPUT ( C O.): Quantity of blood
pumped into the aorta each minute by the
heart
STROKE VOLUME × HEART RATE
 DEPENDS DIRECTLY ON :
(1) body metabolism
(2) exercise
(3) age
(4) Body surface area.
 CARDIAC INDEX : C O. / BODY SURFACE AREA
 Cardiac Output =
Arterial Pressure / Total
Peripheral Resistance
 Normally resistence is sum of
Blood Flow Regulation in All the
Local Tissues
 Two primary factors in cardiac
output regulation:
(1)cardiac pumping capacity
(2)venous return
CARDIAC FACTOR CONTROL OF
CARDIAC OUTPUT
HYPOEFFECTIVE HEART
Myocardial ischemia & infarction
 Myocarditis
 Cardiac metabolic derangement
 Cardiac tamponade
Arrythmia
Severe valvular heart disease
Congenital heart disease
 DETERMINANT OF VENOUS

 Mean systemic filling
pressure (psf) --Degree of

circulation
 Right atrial pressure----

Activation of the Sympathetic (Adrenergic)
Nervous System

 Heart extracts NE from the arterial blood & also

 Angiotensin receptor- G protein coupled -2 types
 AT1 –vasoconstriction, cell growth, aldosterone and
catecholamine release-

Editor's Notes

  • #6 Frank starling law
  • #7  normal unstressful conditions, the cardiac output is controlled almost entirely by peripheral factors that determine venous return
  • #9 Rotate the curve downward :::::simultaneous CO & venous return curve – equlibrium point
  • #10 HIGH PRESSURE RECEPTOR --BARORECEPTOR : short term control--CHEMORECEPTOR : not a powerful arterial pressure controller LOW PRESSURE RECEPTOR: present in ATRIA & PULMONARY ARTERY minimizing arterial pressure changes in response to changes in blood volume Reflex dilatation afferent arteriol ↓ ADH secretion ↑ ANP secretion Bainbridge reflex ↑ SA node firing
  • #16 term neurohormone is largely a historical term, - biologically active molecule ::::: inhibitory inputs from the high-pressure carotid sinus and aortic arch baroreceptors and the low-pressure cardiopulmonary mechanoreceptors.::nonbaroreflex peripheral chemoreceptors and muscle metaboreceptors are the major excitatory inputs
  • #18 β1 - receptor density Adenylyl cyclase activity Contractile response
  • #19 Added later on in kidney phylogenetically in higher primate::::abundant in nerve distribution-AT1:::in fibroblast & interstitium- AT2:::There is RENIN dependent & independent pathway; and also ACE dependent & independeent pathway
  • #23 inhibition of V1 receptors increased cardiac output without affecting electrolytes or hormone levels inhibition of V2 receptors increased serum sodium concentration, plasma renin activity, and plasma AVP levels but did not affect hemodynamics
  • #24 Secreted in response to CARDIAC WALL TENSION modulated by neurohormone, age, sex reasons for this blunting include low renal perfusion pressure, relative deficiency or altered molecular forms of the natriuretic peptides, and decreased levels of natriuretic peptide receptors.
  • #28 urotensin II mediated a dose-dependent vasodilator response in normal subjects, whereas urotensin II mediated a dose-dependent vasoconstrictor response in patients with HF
  • #29  Adipokines include adiponectin, tumor necrosis factor, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1, transforming growth factor-β, and resistin decreased adiponectin levels correlates with the development of obesity-linked HF
  • #34 preserved cellular organization:::addition of new contractile elements in localized areas of the :::nuclei with highly lobulated membranes, accompanied by the displacement of adjacent myofibrils with loss of the normal registration of the Z-bands::::loss of contractile elements (myocytolysis) with marked disruption of Z-bands and severe disruption of the normal parallel arrangement of the sarcomeres::HDAC –histone deacetylase complex
  • #35 ryanodine receptor extends from the membrane of the SR toward the T tubule to constitute the junctional calcium release complex that bridges the gap between the SR and the T tubule
  • #38 cell fate in the failing heart is the intensity or rapidity of the injury, the expression levels of the downstream proapoptotic and antiapoptotic proteins, and the extent of the calcium overload and the intracellular ATP levels
  • #42 CSD = cardiac support device
