HEART FAILURE
Beberapa Istilah
Gagal Jantung Payah Jantung Decompensatio Cordis Heart Failure Congestive Heart Failure Ventricular Failure dll
Pendahuluan
Merupakan masalah yang sangat serius Menyebabkan pasien sering keluar masuk RS Di USA:
Terdapat 43.000 kematian per hari akibat gagal jantung
400.000 kasus baru per tahun Total terdapat 4,9 juta penderita gagal jantung
Menurut Braunwald Gagal Jantung adalah suatu keadaan patofisiologis adanya kelainan fungsi jantung yang berakibat jantung gagal memompakan darah untuk memenuhi kebutuhan metabolisme jaringan dan/atau kemampuannya hanya ada kalau disertai peninggian tekanan pengisian ventrikel kiri (volume diastolik).
Definisi
Menurut Sonnenblik: Secara singkat Gagal Jantung terjadi apabila jantung
tidak lagi mampu memompakan darah yang cukup untuk memenuhi kebutuhan metabolik tubuh pada tekanan pengisian yang normal, padahal aliran balik vena (venous return) ke jantung dalam keadaan normal.
Definisi
Definition:
A state in which the heart cannot provide sufficient cardiac output to satisfy the metabolic needs of the body
Definition of Heart Failure HF is a clinical syndrome in wich patients have the following feature: 1. Symptoms typical of HF
breathlessness at rest or on exercise fatique tiredness ankle swelling AND
2. Signs typical of HF tachycardia, tachypneu, pulmonary rales, pleural e f fus ion , r a i sed JVP , pe r iphera l oedema , hepatomegaly AND
3. Objective evidence of a structural or functional abnormality of the heart at rest (cardiomegaly, third heart sound, cardiac murmurs, abnormality of echocardiography, raised Natriuretic peptide concentration)
FORMS OF HEART FAILURE
Gagal Jantung Backward & Forward
Hipotesis backward failure pertama kali diajukan oleh James Hope pada tahun 1832: Apabila ventrikel gagal memompakan darah
maka darah akan terbendung dan tekanan di atrium serta vena-vena di belakangnya akan naik
Gagal Jantung Backward & Forward
Hipotesis forward failure diajukan oleh Mackenzie 80 tahun setelah hipotesis backward failure: Manifestasi gagal jantung timbul akibat
berkurangnya aliran darah (cardiac output) ke sistem arterial, sehingga terjadi pengurangan perfusi pada organ-organ yang vital dengan segala akibatnya
BACKWARD VERSUS FORWARD HEART FAILURE
backward HF one or the other ventricle fails to discharge its
contents or fails to fill normally
forward HF the clinical manifestations of HF result directly from
an inadequate discharge of blood into the arterial system
Gagal Jantung Right sided & Left sided
Gagal Jantung Kiri (Left Heart Failure) Ventrikel kiri gagal menjalankan fungsinya Infark ventrikel kiri, hipertensi, kelainan pada
katub aorta maupun mitral Terjadi kongesti pulmonal
Gagal Jantung Kanan (Right Heart Failure) Ventrikel kanan gagal menjalankan fungsinya Terjadi bendungan sistemik: edema tungkai,
ascites, hepatomegali, efusi pleura
RIGHT-SIDED VERSUS LEFT-SIDED HEART FAILURE
left-sided HF For example, patients in whom the left ventricle is
hemodynamically overloaded (e.g., aortic stenosis) or weakened (e.g., postmyocardial infarction) develop dyspnea and orthopnea as a result of pulmonary congestion
right-sided HF the underlying abnormality affects the right ventricle primarily
(e.g., congenital valvular pulmonic stenosis or pulmonary hypertension secondary to pulmonary thromboembolism),
symptoms resulting from pulmonary congestion are uncommon,
edema, congestive hepatomegaly, and systemic venous distention
Gagal Jantung Low Output & High Output
Gagal Jantung pada golongan ini menunjukkan bagaimana keadaan curah jantung (cardiac output) apakah tinggi atau rendah sebagai penyebab manifestasi klinik gagal jantung
Contoh gagal jantung low output: Penyakit jantung bawaan, hipertensi, kelainan katup,
koroner, kardiomiopati dll)
Contoh gagal jantung high output: Tirotoksikosis, Pagets Disease, beri-beri, anemia
HIGH-OUTPUT VERSUS LOW-OUTPUT HEART FAILURE
low-output HF occurs secondary to ischemic heart disease,
hypertension, dilated cardiomyopathy, and valvular and pericardial disease
high-output HF is seen in patients with HF and hyperthyroidism,
anemia, pregnancy, arteriovenous fistulas, beriberi, and Paget's disease
In clinical practice, however, low-output and high-output HF cannot always be readily distinguished
Gagal Jantung Akut & Menahun
Menunjukkan saat atau lamanya gagal jantung terjadi atau berlangsung
Apabila terjadi mendadak, misal pada infark jantung yang luas, dinamakan gagal jantung akut
Apabila terjadi secara perlahan maka dinamakan gagal jantung menahun
ACUTE VERSUS CHRONIC HEART FAILURE
acute HF sudden development of a large myocardial
infarction or rupture of a cardiac valve in a patient who previously was entirely well
Chronic HF patients with dilated cardiomyopathy or
multivalvular heart disease that develops or progresses slowly
Gagal Jantung Sistolik & Diastolik
Apabila gagal jantung yang terjadi merupakan akibat abnormalitas fungsi sistolik, yaitu kemampuan mengeluarkan darah dari ventrikel maka dinamakan gagal jantung sistolik
Apabila gagal jantung yang terjadi merupakan akibat abnormalitas fungsi diastolik, yaitu kemampuan pengisian darah pada ventrikel maka dinamakan gagal jantung diastolik
SYSTOLIC VERSUS DIASTOLIC FAILURE
relates to whether the principal abnormality is the inability of the ventricle to contract normally and expel sufficient blood (systolic failure) or to relax and/or fill normally (diastolic failure). The major clinical manifestations of systolic failure relate to an inadequate cardiac output with weakness, fatigue, reduced exercise tolerance, and other symptoms of hypoperfusion, while in diastolic HF the manifestations relate principally to the elevation of filling pressures. Many patients, particularly those who have both ventricular hypertrophy and dilatation, exhibit abnormalities both of contraction and relaxation coexis
Diastolic HF may be caused by increased resistance to ventricular inflow
and reduced ventricular diastolic capacity (constrictive pericarditis and restrictive, hypertensive, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), impaired ventricular relaxation (acute myocardial ischemia), and myocardial fibrosis and infiltration (restrictive cardiomyopathy)
Etiology
It is a common end point for many diseases of cardiovascular system
It can be caused by : -Inappropriate work load (volume or pressure overload)
-Restricted filling -Myocyte loss
Causes of left ventricular failure Volume over load : Regurgitate valve
High output status Pressure overload : Systemic hypertension Outflow obstruction
Loss of muscles : Post MI, Chronic ischemia Connective tissue diseases Infection, Poisons
(alcohol,cobalt,Doxorubicin)
Restricted Filling : Pericardial diseases, Restrictive cardiomyopathy, tachyarrhythmia
Health conditions that either damage the heart or make it work too hard
Coronary artery disease Heart attack High blood pressure Abnormal heart valves Heart muscle diseases (cardiomyopathy) Heart inflammation (myocarditis)
What Causes Heart Failure?
Congenital heart defects Severe lung disease Diabetes Severe anemia Overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism) Abnormal heart rhythms
What Causes Heart Failure?
Heart Failure
What Causes Heart Failure? Coronary artery disease
Cholesterol and fatty deposits build up in the hearts arteries
Less blood and oxygen reach the heart muscle
This causes the heart to work harder and occasionally damages the heart muscle
Heart Failure
What Causes Heart Failure? Heart attack
An artery supplying blood to the heart becomes blocked
Loss of oxygen and nutrients damages heart muscle tissue causing it to die
Remaining healthy heart muscle must pump harder to keep up
Heart Failure
What Causes Heart Failure? High blood pressure
Uncontrolled high blood pressure doubles a persons risk of developing heart failure
Heart must pump harder to keep blood circulating
Over time, chamber first thickens, then gets larger and weaker
Heart Failure
What Causes Heart Failure? Abnormal heart valves Heart muscle disease
Damage to heart muscle due to drugs, alcohol or infections
Congenital heart disease Severe lung disease
Heart Failure
What Causes Heart Failure? Diabetes
Tend to have other conditions that make the heart work harder
Obesity Hypertension High cholesterol
Heart Failure
What Causes Heart Failure? Severe anemia
Not enough red blood cells to carry oxygen Heart beats faster and can become overtaxed with
the effort Hyperthyroidism
Body metabolism is increased and overworks the heart
Abnormal Heart Rhythm If the heart beats too fast, too slow or irregular it may
not be able to pump enough blood to the body
Manifestasi Klinis Manifestasi klinis gagal jantung sangat
beragam dan bergantung pada banyak faktor a.l. Etiologi kelainan jantung Umur pasien Berat atau ringannya Terjadinya secara mendadak atau perlahan
dan menahun Ventrikel mana yang menjadi pencetus

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF HEART FAILURE
DYSPNEA Orthopnea Paroxysmal (Nocturnal) Dyspnea
CHEYNE-STOKES RESPIRATION FATIGUE AND WEAKNESS ABDOMINAL SYMPTOMS
Anorexia and nausea associated with abdominal pain and fullness
CEREBRAL SYMPTOMS confusion, difficulty in concentration, impairment of memory,
headache, insomnia, and anxiety. Nocturia
Shortness of Breath (dyspnea) WHY?
Blood backs up in the pulmonary veins because the heart cant keep up with the supply an fluid leaks into the lungs
SYMPTOMS Dyspnea on exertion or at rest Difficulty breathing when lying flat Waking up short of breath
Signs and Symptoms of Heart Failure
Persistent Cough or Wheezing WHY?
Fluid backs up in the lungs SYMPTOMS
Coughing that produces white or pink blood-tinged sputum
Signs and Symptoms of Heart Failure
Edema WHY?
Decreased blood flow out of the weak heart Blood returning to the heart from the veins
backs up causing fluid to build up in tissues SYMPTOMS
Swelling in feet, ankles, legs or abdomen Weight gain
Signs and Symptoms of Heart Failure
Tiredness, fatigue WHY?
Heart cant pump enough blood to meet needs of bodies tissues
Body diverts blood away from less vital organs (muscles in limbs) and sends it to the heart and brain
SYMPTOMS Constant tired feeling Difficulty with everyday activities
Signs and Symptoms of Heart Failure
Lack of appetite/ Nausea WHY?
The digestive system receives less blood causing problems with digestion
SYMPTOMS Feeling of being full or sick to your stomach
Signs and Symptoms of Heart Failure
Confusion/ Impaired thinking WHY?
Changing levels of substances in the blood ( sodium) can cause confusion
SYMPTOMS Memory loss or feeling of disorientation Relative or caregiver may notice this first
Signs and Symptoms of Heart Failure
Increased heart rate WHY?
The heart beats faster to make up for the loss in pumping function
SYMPTOMS Heart palpitations May feel like the heart is racing or throbbing
Signs and Symptoms of Heart Failure
Common clinical manifestation of HF
Dominant clinical feature Symptoms Signs
Peripheral oedema / conges2on
Breathlessness Tiredness, fa2que Anorexia

Physical examination
The physical examina2on can provide important informa2on concerning the degree to which the cardiac output is reduced as well as the degree of volume overload, ventricular enlargement, and pulmonary hypertension
Heart sounds An S3 gallop have been associated with leS atrial pressures exceeding 20 mmHg, increased leS ventricular end-diastolic pressures (>15 mmHg)
Physical examination
Decreased cardiac output patients compensate for a fall in cardiac output
by increasing sympathetic outow sinus tachycardia, diaphoresis, and peripheral
vasoconstriction. manifested as cool, pale, and sometimes cyanotic
extremities (due to the combination of decreased perfusion and increased oxygen extraction)
Physical examination
Volume overload There are three major manifestations of volume
overload in patients with HF: pulmonary congestion, peripheral edema, and elevated jugular venous pressure
BLOOD TESTS
A complete blood count since anemia can exacerbate preexis2ng HF
Serum electrolytes and crea2nine as a baseline to follow when ini2a2ng therapy with diure2cs and/or angiotensin conver2ng enzyme inhibitors.
Liver func2on tests, which may be aected by hepa2c conges2on.
Fas2ng blood glucose to detect underlying diabetes mellitus
CHEST X-RAY
is a useful rst diagnos2c test, par2cularly in the evalua2on of pa2ents who present with dyspnea
Findings sugges2ve of HF include: cardiomegaly (cardiac-to-thoracic width ra2o above 50 percent), cephaliza2on of the pulmonary vessels, Kerley B-lines, and pleural eusions

water from the bloodstream Decreases workload of the heart and edema Fine balance removing too much fluid can
strain kidneys or cause low blood pressure
Medications used to treat Heart Failure
Diuretics
Diure2cs are recommended in pts with clinical signs or symptoms of conges2on
Diure2cs provide relief from the symptoms and signs of pulmonary and systemic venous conges2on
Diure2cs cause ac2va2on of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and should be used in combina2on with an ACE-I / ARB
Class of recommenda6on I, level of evidence B
Aldosterone antagonists
The addi2on of aldosterone antagonist is recommended in all pts with an EF 35%, severe symptoma2c HF without hyperkalemia or signicant renal dysfunc2on
Aldosterone antagonists reduce hospital admission for worsening HF and increased survival when added to exis2ng therapy, including ACE-I
Class of recommenda6on I, level of evidence B
In such hospitalised pa2ents, treatment with an aldosterone antagonist should be ini2ated before discharge

Prognosis
Annual mortality rate depends on patients symptoms and LV function
5% in patients with mild symptoms and mild in LV function
30% to 50% in patient with advances LV dysfunction and severe symptoms
40% 50% of death is due to SCD
SUMMARY
A thorough history and physical examina2on are the ini2al steps in the evalua2on of pa2ents with suspected HF.
The absence of dyspnea on exer2on makes the diagnosis of HF unlikely, while a history of myocardial infarc2on and a displaced apical impulse, or S3 on physical examina2on, strongly suggest the diagnosis.
Ini2al blood tests should include a complete blood count, plasma electrolytes, BUN and crea2nine, liver func2on tests, and urinalysis
SUMMARY
A chest x-ray and electrocardiogram should be performed in all pa2ents.
The presence of pulmonary vascular conges2on and cardiomegaly on chest x-ray support the diagnosis of HF; chest x-ray is also useful for ruling out pulmonary disease in pa2ents who present with dyspnea.
A normal ECG is unusual in pa2ents with symptoma2c systolic dysfunc2on (98 percent nega2ve predic2ve value).
SUMMARY
Echocardiography should be performed in all pa2ents with new onset HF.
Echocardiography has a high sensi2vity and specicity for the diagnosis of myocardial dysfunc2on, and may also establish the e2ology of HF
