Heart Failure (Unable to pump sufficient cardiac output (Contractility…

- - - - Due to significant HTN
  - - - Valvular regurgitation
  - - - Higher resting HR was independently associated with HF (Nanchen, 2013).
- - - - Placed inside Aorta
        
        During Diastole-Inflates to push blood into coronary arteries
        
        Improved perfusion to heart tissue
        
        During Systole-Deflates to create negative in Aorta, helping Left Ventricle eject into aorta
        
        Increases Cardiac output
        
        Increases LVEF
  - - - main pulmonary artery
      - Superior & Inferior Vena cavae
      - aorta
      - Dividing left atrium
        
        Leaving back wall of left atrium
        
        Pulmonary veins open in place
        
        surgeon connects donor heart
        
        Immunosuppressive therapy
  - - - Goal: Return to "most" ADLS
    - - Continuous Bloodflow, no Pulse
      - EKG rythm does not matter
- - - - Increased abdominal swelling
- - - - Released into blood when myocardium is overstretched (systolic HF)
  - - - LVEF: normal is 60%... Looking at the percentage of blood pumped out of the LV during systole
        
        LVEF is normal with diastolic HF but decreased with systolic HF
- - - - pulmonary capillary pressure exceeds oncotic pressure of plasma proteins
        
        fluid leaks from capillaries into interstitial space and alveoli
        
        reduces pulmonary compliance and increased work of breathing
        
        Lymphatic drainage increases but can't compensate for increase in pulmonary fluid
        
        Increased fluid accumulation in alveoli (pulmonary edema) alters V/Q relationships
        
        Deoxygenated pulmonary arterial blood passes through poorly ventilated alveoli decreasing systemic arterial oxygenation(PaO2) causing dyspnea

        S/S of pulmonary edema: marked dyspnea, pallor, cyanosis, diaphoresis, tachypnea, anxiety, agitation
- - - - breaks down less aldosterone
        
        further fluid accumulation
