Cardiomyopathy
Importance
• Increasing burden
• Aging population Improved survival
(Hypertension/CAD)
• Nationwide, heart failure affects more
than 400 000 Canadians1
• (10% of those >75)
• >50 000 new cases are diagnosed /yr1
Bad Disease
• Mortality
• 1 year – 10-20%
• 6 year – 60-80%
• ED visits
• 20% new diagnosis
• 80% repeat visit (decompensation)
Definition
• CHF
– Inability of the heart to maintain adequate vital
organ perfusion at normal filling pressures
• Decreased exercise capacity
• Associated neurohumoral-endocrine changes, initially
compensatory but ultimately maladaptive
• Pulmonary Edema
– A condition associated with increased loss of fluid
from the pulmonary capillaries into the pulmonary
interstitium and alveoli
The heart is a pump that works
together with the lungs. It pumps blood
in 2 ways
1. It pumps blood from the heart to the lungs to pick up
oxygen. The oxygenated blood returns to the heart
2. It then pumps blood out into the circulatory system of
blood vessels that carry blood through the body
• In HF the pumping action of the heart
becomes less and less efficient/powerful
• The heart does not pump blood as well as it
should
• When this happens, blood does not move
efficiently through the circulatory system
• It starts to back up, increasing the pressure in
the blood vessels, forcing fluid from the blood
vessels into body tissues.
Physiology
• ↓ CO = HR X Stroke Volume
• SV = preload + contractility - afterload
• Preload
– initial stretching of the cardiac myocytes
prior to contraction
• Afterload
– the "load" that the heart must eject blood
against
– Aortic pressure
Stroke Volume
– Hypertrophy is a mechanism that allows more
muscle fibers to share the work
• Contractility
– ability of a cardiac muscle fiber to contract
at a given fiber length
• catecholamines (norepi and epi)
• sympathetic stimulation
• Ca++

Classification of Heart Failure
• Low Output
• Cardiac output is low, but demand for blood flow is normal
• The heart is unable to meet this demand and fails
• Dx: IHD, HTN, dilated cardiomyopathy, valvular and pericardial dz
• High Output
• High-output heart failure Cardiac output is normal or a little bit
high
• Demand for blood flow is abnormally high
• (hyperthyroidism, anemia, severe infections)
• The heart is unable to deliver the increased amount of blood and
fails
• Dx: hyperthyroidism, anemia, pregnancy, AV fistulas, beriberi, &
Paget’s
• Rx: ↓volume overload and correct the underlying disorder
Classification of Heart Failure
• Acute
• MI, Acute Valve Dysfunction
• largely systolic
• sudden reduction in cardiac output often results in
systemic hypotension without peripheral edema
• Chronic
• Cardiomyopathy
• arterial pressure tends to be well maintained until
very late in the course
• there is often accumulation of peripheral edema
Classification of Heart Failure
• Right Sided (right ventricle)
•
(pulmonic stenosis or pulmonary hypertension)
• When the right side of the heart starts to fail, fluid collects in the
feet and lower legs
• As the heart failure becomes worse, the legs swell and eventually
the abdomen collects fluid (ascites, hepatic congestion)
• Weight gain accompanies the fluid retention and is an excellent
measure of how much fluid is being retained.
• Left Sided (left ventricle)
• left ventricle is mechanically overloaded (aortic stenosis) or
weakened (post MI)
• When the left side of the heart starts to fail, fluid collects in the
lungs (Orthopnea/PND)
• Breathing becomes more difficult, and the patient may feel short of
breath, particularly with activity or lying down
• This extra fluid in the lungs makes it more difficult for the airways to
expand on inhalation
• ↓O2 diffusion
Classification of Heart Failure
• Systolic
– The heart has difficulty contracting and pumping out enough
blood
• weakness, fatigue and decreased ability to exercise
↓Ejection fraction = (stroke volume)/(end diastolic volume)
– A normal ejection fraction is greater than 50%
– Systolic heart failure has a ↓EF < 50%.
• Diastolic
– The heart is unable to fill properly during diastole
– ↑ filling pressure
– This impedes blood filling into the heart → backup into the
lungs → CHF symptoms
– ↑ in patients > 75 years; women; HTN
– Ejection fraction is normal
Classification of Heart Failure
Directional Heart Failure
• Backwards heart failure
– The ventricle is not pumping out all the blood that
comes into it. ↑ ventricular filling pressure and systemic
or pulmonary edema
– In fact, the heart can only meet the needs of the body if
the ventricular filling pressure is high
• Forward heart failure
– The heart is not pumping out enough blood to meet the
needs of the body
– ↓ blood reaches the kidneys, they conserve salt and
water, which contributes to excess fluid retention and
edema
– Forward failure also decreases the blood flow to various
organs, causing weakness and fatigue

Airway/Breathing
• Non-rebreather facemask delivering
100% O2
• Once initial therapy has begun, oxygen
supplementation can be titrated in order
to keep the patient comfortable and
arterial oxygen saturation above 90
percent.
NIPPV
• If respiratory distress and/or hypoxia persist, consider
non-invasive PPV
– ↓ preload, ↓ afterload, and ↑ left ventricular performance
– Meta-analysis of 15 clinical trials: ↓mortality and ↓intubation
with NPPV compared to conventional therapy
– Patients who fail/do not tolerate/have contraindications to
NPPV should be intubated
– Positive end-expiratory pressure is often useful for improving
oxygenation

Vosodilator Therapy:
Nesiritide
•
Efficacy Phase
– 432 patients
– In the efficacy phase, 127 patients underwent hemodynamic monitoring with
a pulmonary artery catheter
– A six hour infusion of nesiritide (0.015 and 0.03 µg/kg per min) decreased
pulmonary capillary wedge pressure
– (6 and 10 mmHg versus an ↑ of 2 mmHg for placebo)
– Improved the clinical status in a greater number of patients (60% and 67%
versus 14%)
•
Comparative phase
– 305 patients
– Randomly assigned to nesiritide or standard vasoactive agents for seven
days without hemodynamic monitoring
– Compared to standard treatment with a single vasoactive agent
(dobutamine, milrinone, nitroglycerin, or nitroprusside)
– nesiritide produced a similar significant improvement in clinical status and
reduction in dyspnea and fatigue that persisted during the entire infusion
period.
– Asymptomatic, dose-related hypotension was the most common side effect
• Death within 30 days tended to occur more
often among patients randomized to nesiritide
therapy
– 35 [7.2%] of 485 vs 15 [4.0%] of 377 patients
• RR from meta-analysis: 1.74
– (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97-3.12; P = .059)
• Hazard ratio after adjusting for study, 1.80

• placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind study
– 20 CHF patients (NYHA class III or IV)
• Compared with placebo, enalaprilat

↓ pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (-37% versus -10%, P=.001),
↓ diastolic and mean systemic blood pressures (-21% vs 0%, P=.009, and -18% vs -1%, P=.026)
↓ diastolic and mean pulmonary blood pressures (-21% vs -8%, P=.040; -18% vs -9%, P=.046)
↓ brachial and renal resistances (-44% versus -14%, P=.017, and -22% versus -2%, P=.014)
↑ brachial and renal blood flows (+77% versus +8%, P=.036, and +12% versus 0%, P=.043)

• Why do we need another diagnostic
test?
– Diagnostic uncertainty
• How uncertain are we?

volume and systolic function
• Cardiac catheterization
– Elevated ventricular end-diastolic pressure
– Dip and plateau configuration of the diastolic
portion of the ventricular pressure pulse
– Normal to slightly decreased ejection fraction
– Prominent x and y descent
• Endomyocardial biopsy

– Negative findings do not exclude diagnosis
• Treat underlying cause if possible
• Therapy similar for other causes of CHF
• Consider anticoagulation as prone to stasis
– thromboembolism
