What is heart failure?
"heart failure" simply means that your heart
isn't pumping blood as well as it should. Heart
failure doesn't mean your heart has stopped
working or that you are having a heart attack
(but, people with heart failure often have had a
heart attack in the past). Heart failure is also
called congestive heart failure, or CHF
What causes heart failure?
1. Coronary artery disease (narrowing of the blood
vessels to the heart)
2. Problems with the heart muscle itself (known as
cardiomyopathy)
3. High blood pressure (also known as hypertension)
4. Problems with any of the heart valves
5. Abnormal heart rhythms (also called arrythmias)
6. Toxic substances (such as alcohol abuse)
7. Congenital heart disease (a heart problem you were
born with)
8. Diabetes
9. Thyroid problems
What are the symptoms of
heart failure?
Shortness of breath (perhaps when walking or
climbing stairs)
Shortness of breath when lying down flat in bed
Waking up in the night, suddenly breathless
General tiredness or weakness
Swelling of the legs (usually just the feet or
ankles)
Rapid weight gain (1 or 2 pounds a day for 3 days
in a row)
Chronic cough
What tests will need?
Blood tests
Urine tests
Chest x-ray
Electrocardiogram (also called EKG or ECG)
Echocardiography
Classification
There are many different ways to categorize heart
failure, including:
the side of the heart involved, (left heart failure versus
right heart failure)
whether the abnormality is due to contraction or
relaxation of the heart (systolic dysfunction vs. diastolic
dysfunction)
whether the abnormality is due to low cardiac output or
high systemic vascular resistance (low-output heart
failure vs. high-output heart failure)
the degree of functional impairment conferred by the
abnormality (as in the NYHA functional classification)
What treatment will need?
Diet: You may be told to reduce the amount of salt you eat. You
doctor may also tell you to eat a diet low in fat and cholesterol.
Alcohol: You will be advised to drink less alcohol.
Exercise: Most people with heart failure can still exercise, but
your doctor will help you decide how much and what kind of
exercise you can do.
Weight: Your doctor will tell you if you need to lose weight.
Family support: Your family can be a big help to you, so
involve them when possible.
Other sources of support: Your doctor can give you
information about support groups. It sometimes helps to talk
with other people who have similar problems
What medicines will I need to take?
ACE inhibitors.
Diuretics
Beta-blockers.
Digoxin.
Exercise
Exercise can be fun and will help
you to feel better, more alert and
more able to do everyday tasks.
Ø Walking
Ø Cycling
Smoking
Smoking is a major risk factor, for heart failure
and other serious conditions. Smoking causes
the arteries to become blocked and makes it more
difficult for the heart to pump blood around the
body. The heart has to work twice as a result,
putting an enormous strain upon it.
Stress
Be aware of your stress levels
Get plenty of sleep
Keep some time for yourself
Eat a balanced diet
Exercise regularly
Use simple relaxation techniques
Make time to relax with family and friends
Food/diet
Avoid fatty foods, eat starchy foods instead (bread, pasta,
potatoes, rice, cereals)
Cut right down on saturated fats and substitute them with small
amounts of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Saturated
fats are found in butter, hard cheese, lard, dripping, coconut oil
and palm oil. Polyunsaturated fats are found in cornflower oil,
sunflower oil, soya oil and fish oil. Some margarines and spreads
are made from polyunsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats are
found in olive oil, walnut oil and rapeseed oil, and in some
margarines and spreads.
Avoid food with high salt (sodium) levels.
Eat plenty of vegetables and fruit (you should aim to eat 5
portions a day)
Eat a balanced and moderate diet
Don’t overeat!
You do not necessarily have to cut out all your favourite
things and ‘live off a lettuce leaf’, but you should make
efforts to improve the way you eat. There are simple things
that you can do which will make a difference:
Grill foods like meat/fish rather than fry them
Don’t put butter on vegetables
Don’t put salt on your food for extra seasoning
Try to eat more salad
Eat oily fish, such as sardines or mackerel, twice a
week, it is a very good source of protein and ‘healthy’
oils
Have cereal for breakfast rather than a fried breakfast
Do not eat too much chocolate, crisps or sweets – you
can treat yourself occasionally but try to cut down on
these things
