Heart Failure Also called pump failure; inability of heart to work effectively as a pump

Heart Failure (cont’d) Major types: Left-sided Right-sided High-output

Left-Sided Heart Failure Formerly known as congestive heart failure Typical causes—hypertensive, coronary artery, valvular disease Not all cases involve fluid accumulation Two types: systolic and diastolic

Right-Sided Heart Failure Causes—left ventricular failure, right ventricular MI, pulmonary hypertension Right ventricle cannot empty completely Increased volume and pressure in venous system and peripheral edema

High-Output Failure Cardiac output remains normal or above normal Caused by increased metabolic needs of hyperkinetic conditions: Septicemia Anemia Hyperthyroidism

Compensatory Mechanisms When cardiac output insufficient to meet body’s demands, these mechanisms operate to increase cardiac output: Major types: Sympathetic nervous system stimulation Other renin-angiotensin system activation Chemical responses (BNP) Myocardial hypertrophy

Etiology Systemic hypertension cause of heart failure in most cases About one third of patients experiencing MI also develop HF Structural heart changes (e.g., valvular dysfunction) cause pressure or volume overload on heart

Left-Sided Heart Failure Clinical manifestations: Weakness Fatigue Dizziness Acute confusion (low flow) Pulmonary congestion Breathlessness Oliguria

Proportional Pulse Pressure

Right-Sided Heart Failure Clinical manifestations: Jugular vein distention Increased abdominal girth Dependent edema Hepatomegaly Hepatojugular reflux Ascites Weight most reliable indicator of fluid gain/loss

Assessment of Right-Sided Heart Failure Laboratory: Electrolytes Hemoglobin and hematocrit B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) Urinalysis (proteinuria/high specific gravity) ABGs

Assessment of Right-Sided Heart Failure (cont’d) Imaging: CXR Echocardiography (best diagnostic tool) ECG Pulmonary artery catheter

Hemodynamic Monitoring PA catheter allows for assessment of cardiac function and fluid volume PAP/PAWP elevated with left heart failure

Analysis of Right-Sided HF Priority problems: Impaired gas exchange Decreased cardiac output Fatigue/weakness Potential for pulmonary edema

Improving Gas Exchange Promoting oxygenation and gas exchange Ventilation assistance Monitor respiratory rate every 1-4 hr Auscultate breath sounds every 4-8 hr Position in high Fowler’s if patient dyspneic Maintain oxygen saturation of 90%

Improving Cardiac Output Improved/increased cardiac pump effectiveness Hemodynamic regulation

Drugs Used to Reduce Afterload ACE inhibitors ARB Human B-type natriuretic peptides

Interventions that Reduce Preload Nutrition therapy Drug therapy Diuretics Venous vasodilators

Drugs that Enhance Contractility Digoxin Inotropic drugs Beta-adrenergic blockers

Drug Therapy Morphine sulfate Diuretics Loop Thiazide

Digoxin Cardiac glycoside Increases contractility Reduces heart rate (HR) Slows conduction through atrioventricular node Inhibits sympathetic activity

Other Nonsurgical Options CPAP CRT Gene therapy

Surgical Management Heart transplantation VADs Other surgical therapies: Heart reduction Endoventricular circular patch cardioplasty Acorn cardiac support device Myosplint

Heart Transplantation

Decreasing Fatigue & Weakness Rest for energy management Basic leg exercises Slow ambulation

Preventing or Managing Pulmonary Edema Assess for early signs (e.g., crackles in bases) Dyspnea at rest, disorientation, confusion High Fowler’s position

Preventing or Managing Pulmonary Edema (cont’d) Oxygen therapy Nitroglycerin Rapid-acting diuretics IV morphine sulfate Continual assessment

Community-Based Care Home care management Teaching for self-management Health care resources

Indications for Worsening or Recurrent Heart Failure Rapid weight gain Decrease in exercise tolerance Cold symptoms Excessive awakening at night to urinate Development of dyspnea/angina at rest Increased edema in feet, ankles, hands

Valvular Heart Disease Mitral stenosis Mitral regurgitation (insufficiency) Mitral valve prolapse Aortic stenosis Aortic regurgitation (insufficiency)

Assessment Sudden illness or slowly developing symptoms over many years Ask about attacks of rheumatic fever, infective endocarditis; ask about possibility of IV drug abuse Chest x-ray, ECG, stress test

Nonsurgical Management Rest Drug therapy Diuretics Beta blockers Digoxin Oxygen Nitrates Vasodilators Anticoagulants

Surgical Management Reparative procedures Balloon valvuloplasty Direct or open commissurotomy Mitral valve annuloplasty Replacement procedures

Heart Valves Examples of biologic (tissue) heart valves. A, Freestyle, a stentless pig valve with no frame. B, Hancock II, a stented pig valve. C, Carpentier-Edwards pericardial bioprosthesis.

Community-Based Care Home care management Teaching for self-management Health care resources

Infective Endocarditis Microbial infection involving the endocardium Those at high risk: IV drug abusers Valve replacement recipients People who have had systemic infections People with structural cardiac defects

Infective Endocarditis (cont’d) Possible ports of entry Oral cavity Skin rash Lesion/abscess Infection Surgery or invasive procedure

Manifestations of Endocarditis Murmur Heart failure Arterial embolization Splenic infarction

Manifestations of Endocarditis (cont’d) Neurologic changes Petechiae Splinter hemorrhages

Diagnostic Assessment Positive blood cultures New regurgitant murmur Evidence of endocardial involvement by echocardiography

Nonsurgical Management Antimicrobials Activities balanced with adequate rest

Surgical Management Removal of infected valve Repair or removal of congenital shunts Repair of injured valves and chordae tendineae Draining of abscesses in heart or elsewhere

Pericarditis Inflammation/alteration of pericardium Dressler’s syndrome Post-pericardiotomy syndrome Chronic constrictive pericarditis

Pericarditis (cont’d)

Assessment of Pericarditis Substernal precordial pain radiating to left side of neck, shoulder, or back Grating, oppressive pain, aggravated by breathing, coughing, swallowing

Assessment of Pericarditis (cont’d) Pain worsened by supine position; relieved by sitting up and leaning forward Pericardial friction rub

Interventions Pain management Pericardiectomy NSAIDs Antibiotics for bacterial form Pericardiectomy

Pericardial Effusion Puts patient at risk for cardiac tamponade Cardiac tamponade findings: JVD Paradoxical pulse Decreased CO Muffled heart sounds Circulatory collapse

Acute Cardiac Tamponade: Emergency Care Cardiac tamponade is an extreme emergency! Increased fluid volume Hemodynamic monitoring Pericardiocentesis Pericardial window Pericardiectomy

Pericardiocentesis

Rheumatic Carditis Sensitivity response from upper respiratory tract infection with group A beta-hemolytic streptococci Inflammation in all layers of heart Formation of Aschoff bodies Impaired contractile function of myocardium, thickening of pericardium, valvular damage

Clinical Manifestations Tachycardia Cardiomegaly New or changed murmur

Clinical Manifestations (cont’d) Pericardial friction rub Precordial pain Changes in ECG Indications of heart failure Existing streptococcal infection

Cardiomyopathy Subacute or chronic disease of cardiac muscle Dilated cardiomyopathy Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Restrictive cardiomyopathy Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy

Nonsurgical Management Drug therapy Diuretics Vasodilating agents Cardiac glycosides Implantable cardiac defibrillators Toxin exposure avoidance Alcohol avoidance

Surgical Management Depends on cardiomyopathy type Most common: Ventriculomyomectomy Percutaneous alcohol septal ablation Heart transplantation

Which action should you take first? Replace the oxygen. A 51-year-old Hispanic man came to the hospital 2 days ago for recurrent exacerbation of heart failure. He weighs 237 lbs and is 5’ 8” tall. He has IV access in his left forearm and is on oxygen at 2 L per nasal cannula. When you assess the patient, he is sitting on the side of the bed and appears to be short of breath. He tells you that he has just returned from the bathroom. He is sweating and his nasal cannula is laying on the bedside table. Which action should you take first? Replace the oxygen. Take his vital signs. Call the Rapid Response Team. Sit him up in a bedside chair. ANS: A The patient has exerted himself in ambulating to and from the bathroom. He also has been without supplemental oxygen. The first action should be to replace his nasal cannula. He has a history of heart failure and will often require supplemental oxygen. Taking his vital signs can be done once his oxygen is restored. If he wants to sit up, he should be positioned in bed, not in a bedside chair. Calling the Rapid Response Team is not necessary.

(cont’d) Fifteen minutes after the oxygen is replaced and he has rested, the patient denies being short of breath. You obtain an oxygen saturation and it is 96%. Based on this result, what should you do next? Call the provider as soon as possible. Continue the assessment because 96% is acceptable. Increase the oxygen level to 5 L per nasal cannula. Encourage the patient to take some deep breaths. ANS: B Once the patient’s oxygen is replaced, he denies shortness of breath. The supplemental oxygen and a period of rest resulted in his oxygen saturation being 96%, which is acceptable. The oxygen should not be increased, nor does he need to take deep breaths because the patient’s SaO2 is normal and he is not short of breath.

(cont’d) After assessing the patient, you document the following: Jugular venous distention 2+ edema in feet and ankles Swollen hands and fingers Distended abdomen Bibasilar crackles on auscultation Productive cough with pink-tinged sputum What is your best interpretation of these findings? Right-sided heart failure Left-sided heart failure Biventricular failure Class IV heart failure ANS: C The patient has key features of both right-sided and left-sided heart failure.

(cont’d) During morning care, the patient develops shortness of breath, fatigue, and tachycardia. What is your interpretation of these findings? What interventions would you begin at this time? The patient has developed activity intolerance from too much exertion. Energy management – provide physical and emotional rest; arrange nursing care to provide periods of rest; provide assistance with any care the patient is unable to complete for himself; observe and document the patient’s response to activity; as the patient improves, consult with a physical therapist; gradually increase activity based on the patient’s responses.

(cont’d) During the evening shift, the patient has a bedside echocardiogram which reveals an ejection fraction of 30%. Based on this finding, which medications might the provider order? (Select all that apply.) Lisinopril (Zestril) 5 mg PO daily Ibuprofen (Advil) 200 PO mg twice daily Multivitamin 1 PO each day Furosemide (Lasix) 20 mg IV push daily Digoxin (Lanoxin) 0.25 mg PO daily ANS: A, D, E Commonly prescribed drug classes for patients with heart failure include ACE inhibitors (lisinopril), diuretics (furosemide), nitrates (digoxin), human B-type natriuretic peptides, inotropics, and beta-adrenergic blockers.

Audience Response System Questions Chapter 37 Audience Response System Questions

Question 1 Which cardiovascular disease results in the highest number of hospital admissions in the United States? Mitral valve disease Infective endocarditis Heart failure Rheumatic carditis Answer: C Rationale: According to the American Heart Association, heart failure affects nearly 5.7 million Americans of all ages and is responsible for more hospitalizations than all forms of cancer combined. It is the number one cause for hospitalizations among Medicare patients. With improvement in survival of acute MIs and a population that continues to age, heart failure will continue to increase in prominence as a major health problem in the United States. (Source: Accessed August 2, 2011, from http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/163062-overview#a0156)

Question 2 Which symptom most likely suggests the heart transplant patient may be experiencing signs of organ rejection? Fever Hypertension Weight gain Tachycardia Answer: C Rationale: Clinical manifestations of heart transplant rejection include shortness of breath, fatigue, fluid gain (edema, increased weight), abdominal bloating, new bradycardia, hypotension, atrial fibrillation or flutter, decreased activity tolerance, and decreased ejection fraction (late sign).

Question 3 The nurse expects to see what outcome in a patient who is taking a beta blocker for mild heart failure? Improved activity tolerance Increased myocardial contractility Increased myocardial oxygen consumption Improved urinary output Answer: A Rationale: Beta-blocker therapy for mild and moderate heart failure can lead to improvement in symptoms, including improved activity tolerance and less orthopnea.
