Edna is an 80yo Stage D, HF patient. This is her 3rd admission in the past 4 months, who should we consider consulting?
General Surgery
Neurology
Anesthesiology
Palliative Care
what is cardiac output?
Stroke Volume x Heart Rate = Cardiac Output
Stroke Volume ÷ end diastolic volume = Cardiac Output
Stroke Volume x Heart Rate ÷ body surface area= Cardiac Output
End Diastolic Volume - End Systolic Volume = Cardiac Output
Heart failure is the result of inadequate ventricular filling or inadequate ventricular ejection.
True
False
Select the hormones responsible for cardiac regulation: (SATA)
Serotonin
SIADH
ADH
Aldosterone
Angiotensin
Compensated heart failure means the tissues are being adequately perfused.
True
False
Decreased PaO2, increased PaCO2 and respiratory acidosis indicate which complication?
Compensated heart failure
Pulmonary edema
Circulatory collapse
Coronary artery disease
Abnormal heart sounds are a common manifestation of heart failure.
True
False
Heart failure with maintained cardiac output is compensated heart failure.
True
False

Treatment of HF focuses on (1) identifying and correcting the underlying cause, (2) increasing the strength of the heart’s contraction, (3) maintaining optimal water and sodium balance, and (4) decreasing the heart’s workload.

The nurse is providing patient education. The patient asks the nurse what heart failure is. Which of the following is the nurse’s best response?
“The heart pumps too much blood into the pulmonary veins.”
“The heart is unable to pump enough blood for the body’s oxygen needs.”
“Heart failure is a buildup of blood in the aorta from the heart’s left ventricle.”
“With a failing heart, the heart stops beating, so blood is not pumped out.”
What causes Heart Failure?
Chronic Hypertension
Dysrhythmias
Heart Attack
All of the above
How can you diagnose Heart Failure?
White Blood Cell count
CT Scan
Echocardiogram
MRI
Your patient will be going home with a new diagnosis of heart failure: list three things you will teach the patient
Why do ACE inhibitors work so well for heart failure?
Decreases afterload & workload of the heart
Increases fluid retention
Suppress activation of the sympathetic nervous system
Improve contractility of the heart
