Term
|
Definition
Congestive Heart Failure:
- gradual loss of cardiac pumping
- usually a result of cardiac disease or increased work load associated with pulmonary, renal, or vascular disease, which leads to decreased blood flow to periphearl tissues (forward failure) and accumulation of blood behind the failing chamber (backward failure). |
|
|
Term
| Cycle of Cardiac Decompensation: |
|
Definition
- reduced renal blood flow creates hypoxia in the kidneys and increased renin release form the juxtoglomerular apparatus
- Aldosterone is then released from the adrenal cortex and sodium and water retention result from the action of aldosterone on the kidneys
- the plasma volume is increased, and edema fluid accumulates (mainly in the body cavities)
- hypoxia stimulates the marrow to increase erythropoesis and, subsequently, polycythemia develops.
- the increased viscosity of the blood and the hypervolemia from aldesterone induced water retention place further work on the failing heart, and the vicious cycle of cardiac decompensation is initiated.
- Left heart failure: pulmonary conjestion and edema.
- Right heart failure: hepatic congestion (nutmeg liver) |
