End Stage Heart Failure in Hospice
This document provides an overview of advanced heart failure for nurses, including definitions, epidemiology, types, stages, goals of treatment, interventions, prognosis, palliative care considerations including hospice and end of life planning. It discusses symptoms, assessments, medications, and non-pharmacological management of advanced heart failure. Key points covered include the unpredictability of the heart failure trajectory compared to cancer, the importance of shared decision making and advanced care planning, barriers to discussions around prognosis and goals of care, and indications for device deactivation at end of life.
Patho pharm cardio group 1
Heart failure is a condition where the heart muscle weakens and enlarges, preventing it from pumping enough blood. It affects over 5 million Americans and is a common reason for hospitalization among those over 65. Men are more likely to die from heart failure than women. It costs the US $32 billion annually. Genetics can play a role. Some signs and symptoms include difficulty breathing, swelling, and fatigue. Treatment involves medications, lifestyle changes, and monitoring for fluid levels.
Chf
The document presents a case study of a 66-year-old female patient admitted to the cardiology department with complaints of chest pain, shortness of breath, fever, and weakness for 3-4 days. Examinations found moderate left ventricular systolic dysfunction and an abnormal ECG. The patient was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, fever, arrhythmias, acidity, angina, constipation, and high cholesterol and treated accordingly with medications and lifestyle counseling.
Heart failure in elderly
Heart failure is a common condition in elderly patients, affecting over 80% of all heart failure patients aged 65 and older. It is often difficult to diagnose and manage heart failure in elderly patients due to multiple comorbidities and polypharmacy. While the symptoms of heart failure are similar between elderly and younger patients, the causes and treatments may differ, with conditions like hypertension and coronary artery disease being more common causes in elderly patients. Echocardiography is important for determining left ventricular ejection fraction to guide use of treatments like ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, diuretics and digitalis, which can help manage symptoms and prolong life for elderly heart failure patients.
Chronic coronary syndrome
This document discusses chronic coronary syndrome (CCS), previously known as stable coronary artery disease. It defines CCS and outlines the six entities it can be classified into. It discusses the natural history, pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnosis and management of CCS. Key changes from 2013 guidelines include exercise stress testing now recommended for assessing symptoms and risk rather than diagnosis, and several new second-line treatment options for angina added based on heart rate, blood pressure and tolerance. Invasive testing guidelines were also updated.
Case Study Congestive Heart Failure
This document provides a case study of a 65-year-old African American male patient diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF). It describes the patient's medical history and symptoms, including shortness of breath, weight gain, and leg edema. Diagnostic tests confirmed pulmonary congestion and excess fluid in the abdomen. The patient has multiple comorbidities and takes medications to treat CHF including ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics. Nursing diagnoses focus on impaired gas exchange and excess fluid volume related to CHF. Interventions target monitoring oxygen levels, reducing sodium intake, and administering diuretics to decrease edema.
Right and Left Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive heart failure is a condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It can be caused by issues with the heart muscle itself or from other health problems. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs. Treatment involves medications to help the heart function better like diuretics, vasodilators, and digitalis. Nurses play an important role in managing symptoms, monitoring medication effects, providing education to patients, and assisting with diet and activity levels. Prognosis depends on the underlying cause and can range from full recovery if the cause is treated to long-term management if heart damage is more severe.
Cardio renalanemiahf clinics
This document discusses anemia in patients with heart failure and kidney disease (cardiorenal anemia). It notes that anemia is common in these patients and associated with higher mortality and costs. The pathophysiology of cardiorenal disease and anemia are both multifactorial, involving interactions between cardiac function, renal dysfunction, inflammation, and other factors. The document outlines five subtypes of cardiorenal syndrome based on whether heart or kidney dysfunction is acute or chronic. It emphasizes that a multidisciplinary approach is needed to manage cardiorenal anemia given its complex causes.

Diploma thesis 2018 raheli peled
This document summarizes Raheli Peled's research on cardiovascular complications from chronic renal failure. It defines chronic kidney disease and finds that CKD patients are at much higher risk for cardiovascular disease even in early stages. CVD is the leading cause of death for CKD patients. The relationship between CKD and CVD is multifactorial, as each condition can contribute to the progression of the other through traditional and non-traditional risk factors. Early screening and treatment of modifiable risk factors like controlling blood pressure, lipids, and blood sugar are important for managing CVD risk in CKD patients. Arteriovenous fistulas used for hemodialysis can also impact cardiac function, so careful evaluation of cardiac patients is needed before use
Myocardial Infarction - Case Presentation and an Overview
Case Presented by Final Year MBBS sudents of Frontier Medical College at the 1st Clinico-Pathological Conference for the year 2015.The Presentation is divided into two parts. First part is about a case of an Acute ST Segment elevated Myocardial Infarction with. Its management at the Hospital and the findings. Second part is about the pathophysiology, Cinical signs and symptoms and an effective gold standard treatment of MI.
Intern talk - BP and stroke
This study examined the relationship between premorbid blood pressure and post-stroke blood pressure in patients with different stroke subtypes. The results showed that patients with intracerebral hemorrhage had a substantial increase in systolic blood pressure in the weeks and days immediately before their stroke, whereas no difference was found for patients with ischemic stroke. Post-stroke blood pressure was also higher than most recent premorbid readings, indicating factors after the stroke may contribute to increased blood pressure. The findings help explain previous equivocal results on the benefits of blood pressure reduction after ischemic stroke and highlight the importance of long-term blood pressure control to prevent intracerebral hemorrhage.
Left Ventricular Failure: Heart Failure
Left ventricular failure occurs when the left ventricle fails to pump blood successfully, causing backpressure in the pulmonary circulation and pooling of blood. This can lead to acute pulmonary edema if left untreated. The patient presented with shortness of breath, tachycardia, crackles in both lungs, and edema. Treatment focused on improving oxygenation, decreasing venous return, reducing myocardial oxygen demand and off-loading the ventricles using oxygen, nitrates like nitroglycerin, and furosemide. Timely diagnosis and treatment of congestive cardiac failure remains important.
Hypertension
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a preventable condition that affects 30% of the population. However, 30% of people with hypertension do not know they have it. Uncontrolled hypertension increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and death. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure numbers are important to monitor, with a normal reading being below 140/90 mmHg. Lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, weight, and limiting alcohol and sodium can help control blood pressure, as can medication adherence and regular monitoring. Controlling blood pressure reduces risks to vital organs and improves overall health outcomes.
Heart failure
The document discusses heart failure caused by diastolic dysfunction, which results from any disorder that reduces the heart's ability to fill with blood during relaxation between contractions. It describes how conditions like hypertension, myocardial ischemia, and cardiomyopathy can lead to increased ventricular stiffness and hypertrophy, resulting in diastolic dysfunction and ultimately heart failure. The leading causes of heart failure are outlined as coronary artery disease and hypertension.
Finding ways to be innovative and creative
The document provides tips and techniques for staying innovative and future-proofing oneself, including trend watching, reading science fiction, consulting trend gurus, and leveraging exponential technologies. It recommends techniques like brainstorming, mind mapping, and meditation for generating ideas. Sources of information on trends and innovations include TED talks, MIT, and strategy publications. The overall message is the importance of constantly generating new ideas, having passion and purpose, and using technology for entrepreneurship and creative work.

Structural Lightweight Concrete
Partial replacement of fine aggregates in concrete with lightweight aggregates like copper slag and fiberglass can produce structural lightweight concrete with lower weight but comparable or improved strength and performance compared to traditional concrete. Testing of concrete cylinders with different fine aggregate replacements showed that copper slag is a good replacement, while fiberglass needs to be reduced, and a combination of copper slag and fiberglass performed similar to traditional concrete. More testing is recommended to optimize the lightweight concrete mixture.

Chronic Heart Failure.pptx
Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome that is the end result of virtually any type of heart disease or damage to the heart muscle. It occurs when the heart cannot pump sufficiently to meet the body's needs. There are two main types - heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Heart failure is a major health problem, especially in older adults, and is associated with high rates of hospitalization and mortality. The symptoms and underlying causes of the different types of heart failure vary based on alterations in cardiac structure and function.
Debate evidence bases guideline handler
The document summarizes the recommendations of the 2014 JNC 8 guidelines for treatment of hypertension. It discusses:
1) The JNC 8 recommendation to initiate pharmacologic treatment for those aged 60 and older with a systolic blood pressure of 150 mm Hg or higher, and to treat to a goal of under 150 mm Hg.
2) Evidence from trials supporting this recommendation showing reduced risks of stroke, heart failure, and coronary heart disease with treatment to a goal of under 150 mm Hg.
3) Arguments against recommending treatment to lower goals not proven in clinical trials, such as unnecessary exposure to medication side effects and polypharmacy in the elderly.

Should functional mr be fixed in heart failure
This document discusses functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in heart failure patients. It presents evidence that even mild FMR results in poor survival outcomes, and that FMR is not just a late marker but also a cause of worse prognosis. Surgical mitral repair using a small, complete, rigid ring to reduce the mitral annulus has been shown to improve survival, ventricular remodeling, and functional status compared to no repair or incomplete repairs that do not fully correct FMR. Ongoing studies are exploring newer percutaneous approaches to treating FMR, but surgical repair remains the standard treatment when anatomically feasible to fully correct FMR.
Aortic Valve Stenosis with low EF : TAVR versus Replacement
1) Patients with low ejection fraction (EF < 50%) and severe aortic stenosis who undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI) have similar mortality at 1 year compared to those with higher EF, despite being higher risk.
2) TAVI is associated with significant improvements in EF, symptoms, and quality of life over 1 year in patients with very low EF (≤30%). However, mortality remains higher compared to those with EF >30%.
3) Both TAVI and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) are associated with improvements in EF at 3 months in propensity matched populations with low EF. Short term outcomes are similar, but TAVI is associated with more pacemakers
When is less more minimally invasive surgery in low ef
The document discusses treatment options for patients with reduced ejection fraction and secondary mitral regurgitation, including the use of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery which can be considered for elderly patients or those with comorbidities. It presents a case study of a 69-year-old male with severe secondary mitral regurgitation who underwent a minimally invasive mitral valve repair which eliminated his mitral regurgitation and improved his symptoms and ejection fraction. Long-term data on isolated mitral valve surgery in patients with reduced ejection fraction shows improvement in mitral regurgitation and functional status with no difference in survival between repair and replacement
When to consider tricuspid valve repair
The document discusses when to consider tricuspid valve repair. Tricuspid regurgitation is associated with poor prognosis, especially when secondary to left-sided heart lesions, cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, or in the setting of LVAD placement or heart transplantation. Tricuspid valve repair is indicated for severe, symptomatic primary tricuspid regurgitation, and may also be considered for significant functional regurgitation concurrent with mitral valve surgery, after isolated mitral valve surgery if regurgitation is severe, or when placing a continuous-flow LVAD. Prophylactic tricuspid annuloplasty during heart transplantation reduces the severity of post-operative regurgitation and is associated with improved long-term survival
Cad and low ef does viability assessment matter
This document discusses the value of viability studies in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and low ejection fraction (EF). It summarizes several studies on the topic and discusses their limitations. A key trial was the STICH trial, which found no significant difference in outcomes between revascularization and medical therapy alone, challenging the belief that revascularization benefits those with viable myocardium. The document concludes that while viability concepts are biologically plausible, recent trials create confusion and there is no consensus on how to apply viability testing in practice.
Multimodality imaging.
This document discusses the conundrum of managing mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients with heart failure. It highlights the importance of using multimodality imaging to:
1) Assess the severity of MR at rest and with exercise to determine risk and need for intervention.
2) Evaluate left ventricular function, dyssynchrony, viability and ischemia to determine indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy or revascularization.
3) Assess left ventricular remodeling and mitral valve deformation to predict risk of recurrent MR after repair and determine the best repair/replacement option.
Imaging provides essential information to optimize treatment strategies for MR in heart failure.
The complex patient vad transplant exchange or hospice
This document discusses the case of a 76-year-old man presenting with heart failure symptoms and recurrent cough syncope. Testing revealed cardiac amyloidosis due to a TTR gene mutation. For patients with TTR amyloidosis, treatment options include organ transplantation, TTR stabilizers in clinical trials, or enrollment in hospice. Given his age and comorbidities, the man's options included a left ventricular assist device, extended criteria transplant, or a clinical trial for TTR amyloidosis treatment. He was ultimately listed and transplanted, and has since recovered well.

For patients with TTR amyloidosis, treatment options include organ transplantation, TTR stabilizers in clinical trials, or enrollment in hospice. Given his age and comorbidities, the man's options included a left ventricular assist device, extended criteria transplant, or a clinical trial for TTR amyloidosis treatment. He was ultimately listed and transplanted within a month, and has since recovered well.
Surgical director heart transplant and mechanical assist device program
The document discusses a 55-year-old female patient with a history of rheumatic valve disease and multiple prior heart surgeries who was admitted with recurrent heart failure and an ejection fraction below 10%, outlining her medical history and current status, treatment options, and clinical course including optimization, a redo aortic valve replacement and implantation of a HeartMate II left ventricular assist device.
The complex patient vad ransplant vad exchange or hospice
L.B. is a 62-year-old man with a long history of coronary artery disease and heart failure who has undergone multiple coronary bypass surgeries. He now has an ejection fraction of 25% and intractable ventricular tachycardia despite medical management. Due to the risks of ablation, the team is considering options like hospice care, cardiac transplantation, VAD implantation, or VAD exchange to treat his advanced heart failure. A cardiac catheterization revealed multiple occluded arteries and stenoses. Given his medical history and surgical history, the team must determine the best treatment approach for his condition.
The road ahead.
This document discusses the management of mitral regurgitation (MR) in heart failure patients. It explores the differences between primary and functional (secondary) MR, and notes that correcting primary MR may improve outcomes but the benefits are less clear for functional MR which is primarily a ventricular problem. The document reviews potential management options for MR in heart failure including optimal medical therapy, cardiac resynchronization therapy, surgery, and percutaneous techniques such as the MitraClip system. It presents evidence from studies on the acute effects of CRT and the impact of CRT on functional MR severity. It also discusses guidelines on indications for mitral valve surgery in chronic secondary MR and barriers to surgery.
Whom to refer for mitral valve repair and whom not
This document discusses the treatment of mitral regurgitation in patients with heart failure. It describes the mechanisms of functional and ischemic mitral regurgitation. While medical therapy can improve symptoms and survival, cardiac resynchronization therapy may also help reduce mitral regurgitation severity and improve outcomes. Surgery to repair the mitral valve is an option but the risk of recurrence of mitral regurgitation is high, especially with more advanced left ventricular remodeling. Randomized trials are still needed to determine whether surgical correction provides clear benefits over medical therapy alone in high-risk patients. Percutaneous mitral valve repair may be a lower risk option for inoperable patients to reduce symptoms.
Devices and intervention in heart failure.
- The document discusses the speaker's receipt of honoraria and research support from numerous pharmaceutical and device companies.
- It summarizes several journal articles and studies related to left ventricular remodeling post-myocardial infarction, baroreflex activation therapy for heart failure, and the effects of bi-ventricular pacing on left ventricular ejection fraction and end-systolic volume.
- Key findings from the PACE trial are highlighted showing improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction and end-systolic volume up to 2 years with bi-ventricular pacing compared to right ventricular pacing alone.
European Journal of Heart Failure's year in Cardiology
This document contains information about Prof. Fausto J. Pinto who is the Head of Cardiology at University Hospital Sta Maria-HPV and University of Lisbon in Portugal. It discloses that he has received consultancy fees and lecture fees from various pharmaceutical companies. It also contains several figures and images from various medical studies and publications related to cardiology.
The EHJ's and EJHF's Year in Cardiology
This document lists the collaborations and conflicts of interest for speakers Thomas F. Lüscher and Marco Metra. It notes that they have received research grants, educational grants, and honoraria from numerous pharmaceutical companies. The rest of the document discusses the European Heart Journal, including new associate editors, submission rates and acceptance rates, impact factors, and plans to launch new open access and supplement journals.
Acute and advanced heart failure.
This document summarizes a presentation on cardiology topics including acute and advanced heart failure. It discusses trends in heart failure hospitalizations and mortality. It describes different hemodynamic profiles in acute heart failure patients and their corresponding treatments. It also discusses topics like iron deficiency in heart failure, sleep disordered breathing, and a study showing sleep disordered breathing is common in acute heart failure and predicts mortality.
Prevention is the best treatment
This document discusses the importance of prevention in treating cardiovascular disease. It outlines stages of heart failure progression from asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction to refractory heart failure. Clinical trials show benefits of treating hypertension and post-MI left ventricular dysfunction to prevent heart failure. Treatment with ACE inhibitors reduces mortality and morbidity from heart failure. Prevention of risk factors is emphasized as the best strategy to avoid full-blown heart disease.
Can we afford heart failure management in the future
Heart failure is a major global health problem, affecting 26 million people worldwide. It accounts for 1-3% of hospital admissions in Europe and North America. Hospitalization is the main driver of the high economic costs of heart failure management, which is estimated to rise significantly in the coming decade. To better manage heart failure costs in the future, new models of coordinated and integrated care will need to be implemented, with a focus on preventing hospitalizations and readmissions through improved education, care transitions, and treatment of comorbidities.
The deadly statistics of heart failure.
This document discusses statistics related to heart failure. It summarizes data on outcomes for hospitalized heart failure patients compared to chronic heart failure patients. Hospitalized patients generally have worse outcomes, with high 1-year mortality rates around 25-27%. Chronic heart failure patients have lower but still significant 1-year mortality rates of around 5-6%. The document also reviews real-world data showing high readmission rates after hospitalization for heart failure. It concludes that while treatments for chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction have improved outcomes over decades, more efforts are still needed to improve care and outcomes for hospitalized patients and those with preserved ejection fraction.
The heart failure association global awareness programme.
The Global Heart Failure Awareness Programme aims to make the prevention and management of heart failure a global health priority. It is led by the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology and supported by educational grants. The programme's objectives are to build a common global approach to raising awareness of heart failure among targeted audiences and to call for heart failure to be a health priority in every country. It plans to achieve this through developing educational content, building advocacy coalitions, and implementing initiatives at the national and local levels between 2015 and 2017.
