congestive heart failure - Coggle Diagram
congestive heart failure
pathophysiology
Decrease CO triggers increased systemic vascular resistance, witch leads to further decrease in CO
Cardiac ischemia due to myocardial injury leads to decreased cardiac contractility and ventricular dilation which increases ventricular blood volume
-
Myocardial damage, hypoxia, and decrease contractility
"Pump Failure": Heart unable to produce adequate cardiac output (CO) to maintain proper tissue perfusion
diagnosis and treatment
diagnosis
-
-
Sleep studies, holter monitoring
treatment
Diuretics, vasodilator, beta blockers, anticoagulants
Heart transplant, ventricular assist devices
Lifestyle modification, fluid restriction
clinical manifestations
Persistent cough, frothy sputum production
-
-
Chest pain tachycardia, palpitation
-
Fatigue, weakness, confusion
