An ejection fraction of 60 percent means that 60 percent of the total amount of blood\nin the left ventricle is pushed out with each heartbeat. Preload is the end-diastolic volume (EDV) at the beginning of systole. It’s The amount of ventricular stretch at the\nend of diastole. Afterload is the ventricular pressure at the end of systole (ESP). The amount of resistance the heart must\novercome to open the aortic valve and push the blood volume out into the systemic Circulation. Cardiac output is simply the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute. Necessarily, the cardiac output is the\nproduct of the heart rate, which is the number of beats per minute, and the stroke volume, which is amount pumped\nper beat: CO = HR X SV (Note : SV = EDV - ESV) .Cardiac output at rest is about 5 liters/minute (4900 ml/min).Cardiac\noutput is determined by preload (the volume and pressure of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole),\nafterload (the volume and pressure of blood in the ventricles during systole) and myocardial contractility; this is\nthe basis of Starling’s Law.\n\n ● Heart Failure:\n➔ Heart failure is a complex syndrome1 that can result from any structural or functional cardiac\ndisorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood.\n➔ Heart failure describes the state that develops when the heart cannot maintain an adequate cardiac\noutput or can do so only at the expense of elevated filling pressures. In mild to moderate forms of\nheart failure, cardiac output is normal at rest and only becomes impaired when the metabolic demand\nincreases during exercise or some other form of stress.\n➔ In practice, heart failure may be diagnosed when a patient with significant heart disease develops the\nsigns or symptoms of a low cardiac output, pulmonary congestion or systemic venous congestion\n(signs and symptoms of interstitial volume overload and/or manifestations of inadequate tissue perfusion).\n➔ Almost all forms of heart disease can lead to heart failure. An accurate aetiological diagnosis is\nimportant because treatment of the underlying cause may reverse heart failure or prevent its\nprogression. Approximately 50 % of patients die within 5 years.\n\n 1\n HF is a syndrome as a result of many diseases of the heart. Complex clinical syndrome : because there are many mechanism that will\nresult in HF signs and Sx. \n\nEtiology : Main causes ★ First : Ischemic heart disease, most common cause (35–40%)\n★ Second : Cardiomyopathy (dilated) (30–34%)\n★ Third : Hypertension (15–20%) Other causes ● Cardiomyopathies (other than dilated) : hypertrophic, restrictive (amyloidosis, sarcoidosis)\n● Valvular heart disease (mitral, aortic, tricuspid)\n● Congeni
