 Congestive Heart Failure
 Cardiac Drugs
 1.
Dilated Cardiomyopathy
 2. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
 3. Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
 Enlarged
heart with overextended heart
chambers filled with blood
 Causes a heart murmur (S3)
 Systolic dysfunction because heart has a hard
time contracting (pumping out blood)
 Alcohol
 Beri
Beri Disease
 Chaga’s Disease (bitten by Reduviid bug)
 Cocaine
 Doxorubicin (Adriamycin)
 ACE-Inhibitors
(Captopril)
 Diuretics (Furosemide, Hydrochlorothiazide)
 Digoxin
 Enlarged
left ventricular muscle surrounding
left ventricle decreasing chamber size
 Causes heart murmur (S4)
 Diastolic dysfunction because heart has a
hard time filling with blood
 Variant called Idiopathic Hypertrophic
Subaortic Stenosis (IHSS) with enlarged intraventricular septum
 Hypertension
 Aortic
Stenosis
 Athletes
 Hereditary (IHSS)
 B-blockers
(Propanolol)
 Calcium-channel blockers (Verapamil)
 Enlarged
heart with thick chamber walls
because heart contains deposits within wall
structure
 Causes heart murmur (S4)
 Diastolic dysfunction because heart has a
hard time filling with blood
 Hemochromatosis
(Iron deposits)
 Sarcodosis (non-caseating granulomatous
deposits)
 Treat
underlying disease (Deferoxamine for
Iron Overload or Prednisone for Sarcodosis)
 B-blockers (Propanolol)
 Calcium-channel blockers (Verapamil)
