Patient S.L has been admitted last
February 12, 2010 with chief complaint of
abdominal pain associated with nausea
and 1 episode of vomiting approximately
50cc. She was diagnosed to have CHF III
2° dilated cardiomyopathy but she was
discharged after a week. She had no major
surgeries in the past, but she was
diagnosed with CHF 13 years ago. She has
maintenance drugs including furosemide,
aldazide.

A sputum culture is a test to detect and identify bacteria
or fungi (plural of fungus) that are infecting the lungs or
breathing passages. A sample of sputum is placed in a
container with substances that promote the growth of
bacteria or fungi. If no bacteria or fungi grow, the culture
is negative. If organisms that can cause infection
(pathogenic organisms) grow, the culture is positive. The
type of bacterium or fungus will be identified with a
microscope or by chemical tests.
If bacteria or fungi that can cause infection grow in the
culture, other tests may be done to determine which
antibiotic will be most effective in treating the infection.
This is called susceptibility or sensitivity testing.

The Gram staining, the most common and useful
staining procedure, separates bacteria into two
classifications, according to the composition of their
cell walls: gram-positive organism, which retain
crystal violet stain after decolorization, and gram-
negative organism, which lose the purple stain but
counter-stain red safranin.
Microscopic examination of the Gram-stained

È The electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a diagnostic tool
that measures and records the electrical activity of the
heart in exquisite detail. An ECG records the electrical
impulses that stimulate the heart to contract. It also
records dyafunctions that influence the conduction ability
of the myocardium. It provides a continuous picture of
electrical activity during a complete cycle. Interpretation
of these details allows diagnosis of a wide range of heart
conditions. These conditions can vary from minor to life
threatening.
An ECG is used to measure:
È Any damage to the heart
È How fast your heart is beating and whether it is beating
normally
È The effects of drugs or devices used to control the heart
(such as a pacemaker)
È The size and position of your heart chambers

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
OF THE HEART
ÈThe heart is located under
the ribcage in the center of
the chest between the right
and left lungs. Its muscular
walls beat, or contract,
pumping blood continuously
to all parts of the body.

ÈThe size of the heart can


vary depending on the age,
size, and the condition of the
heart. A normal, healthy, adult
heart most often is the size of
an average clenched adult
fist. Some diseases of the
heart can cause it to become
larger.
#$$%&'(

È The right and left sides of the heart are


divided by an internal wall of tissue called
the septum. The area of the septum that
divides the atria (the two upper chambers
of the heart) is called the atrial or interatrial
septum.
È The area of the septum that divides
the ventricles (the two lower chambers of
the heart) is called the ventricular or
interventricular septum.
$ !&Ê# ()$!*
È The heart is divided into four chambers. The
two upper chambers of the heart are called
atria. The atria receive and collect blood.
È The two lower chambers of the heart are
called ventricles. The ventricles pump blood
out of the heart into the circulatory system to
other parts of your body.
$ !& +,$*
È Shown counterclockwise in the picture, the
valves include the aortic valve, the tricuspid
valve, the pulmonary valve, and the mitral
valve.
+--. +-/
ÈThe arrows in the drawing
show the direction that blood
flows through the heart. From
the right atrium, blood is
pumped into the right ventricle.
From the right ventricle, blood
is pumped to the lungs through
the pulmonary arteries.

ÈThe light red arrows show the


oxygen-rich blood coming in
from the lungs through the
pulmonary veins into the
heart's left atrium. From the left
atrium, the blood is pumped
into the left ventricle. The left
ventricle pumps the blood to
the rest of the body through
the aorta.
È For the heart to work properly, the blood
must flow in only one direction. The heart's
valves make this possible. Both of your
heart's ventricles have an "in" (inlet) valve
from the atria and an "out" (outlet) valve
leading to the arteries.

È Healthy valves open and close in very


exact coordination with the pumping action
of the heart's atria and ventricles. Each
valve has a set of flaps called leaflets or
cusps that seal or open the valves. This
allows pumped blood to pass through the
chambers and into your arteries without
backing up or flowing backward.
+$"&!0" +*1*&$(
È The electrical system also is called the cardiac
conduction system. If you've ever seen the heart test
called an EKG (electrocardiogram), you've seen a
graphical picture of the heart's electrical activity.
The heart's electrical system is made up of three main parts:
È The sinoatrial (SA) node, located in the right atrium of
your heart
È The atrioventricular (AV) node, located on the interatrial
septum close to the tricuspid valve
È The His-Purkinje system, located along the walls of your
heart's ventricles

È A heartbeat is a complex series of events that take place


in the heart. A heartbeat is a single cycle in which your
heart's chambers relax and contract to pump blood. This
cycle includes the opening and closing of the inlet and
outlet valves of the right and left ventricles of the heart.
È Each heartbeat has two basic parts: diastole and
atrial and ventricular systole. During diastole, the
atria and ventricles of the heart relax and begin to
fill with blood.
È At the end of diastole, the heart's atria contract
(atrial systole) and pump blood into the ventricles.
The atria then begin to relax. The heart's ventricles
then contract (ventricular systole), pumping blood
out of the heart.
È Each beat of the heart is set in motion by an
electrical signal from within the heart muscle. In a
normal, healthy heart, each beat begins with a
signal from the SA node. This is why the SA node
is sometimes called the heart's natural pacemaker.
The pulse, or heart rate, is the number of signals
the SA node produces per minute.
È The signal is generated as the two vena cavae fill the heart's right
atrium with blood from other parts of the body. The signal spreads
across the cells of the heart's right and left atria. This signal causes
the atria to contract. This action pushes blood through the open
valves from the atria into both ventricles.
È The signal arrives at the AV node near the ventricles. It slows for an
instant to allow the heart's right and left ventricles to fill with blood.
The signal is released and moves along a pathway called the bundle
of His, which is located in the walls of the heart's ventricles.
È From the bundle of His, the signal fibers divide into left and right
bundle branches through the Purkinje fibers that connect directly to
the cells in the walls of the heart's left and right ventricles. The
signal spreads across the cells of the ventricle walls, and both
ventricles contract. However, this doesn't happen at exactly the
same moment.
È The left ventricle contracts an instant before the right ventricle. This
pushes blood through the pulmonary valve (for the right ventricle) to
the lungs, and through the aortic valve (for the left ventricle) to the
rest of the body.
È As the signal passes, the walls of the ventricles relax and await the
next signal.
È This process continues over and over as the atria refill with blood
and other electrical signals come from the SA node.

È Heart failure, often referred to as Congestive Heart Failure
(CHF), is the inability of heart to pump sufficient blood to
meet the needs of the tissues for oxygen and nutrients.
CHF means that the patient has a fluid overload condition
(congestion) has been identified. Over time, conditions
such as narrowed arteries in your heart (coronary artery
disease) or high blood pressure gradually leave your heart
too weak or stiff to fill and pump efficiently.

È Heart failure often develops after other conditions have


damaged or weakened your heart. Over time, the heart
can no longer keep up with the normal demands placed on
it to pump blood to the rest of your body. The main
pumping chambers of your heart (the ventricles) may
become stiff and not fill properly between beats. Also, your
heart muscle may weaken, and the ventricles stretch
(dilate) to the point that the heart can't pump blood
efficiently throughout your body. The term "congestive
heart failure" comes from blood backing up into ² or
congesting ² the liver, abdomen, lower extremities and
lungs.

È High blood pressure that results cardiomyopathy or heart muscle

CHF is often a result of the following lifestyle habits:
È Unhealthy habits, such as smoking and excessive
use of alcohol, are often to blame.
È Obesity and lack of activity may contribute to CHF,
either directly or indirectly through accompanying
high blood pressure, diabetes, and coronary artery
disease.
È Years of uncontrolled high blood pressure damages
both heart and blood vessels.
Along with lifestyle risk factors, a number of diseases
(for example, diabetes, heart attack [myocardial
infarction], and congenital heart disease) can damage
the heart and lead to congestive heart failure. Over a
hundred other, less common, causes of CHF include a
variety of infections, exposures, complications of other
diseases, toxic effects, and genetic predisposition.

Ê



È If no underlying correctible cause of heart failure is
established, medical treatment is composed of lifestyle
changes and medications.
È Lifestyle changes recommended by the health care
provider can help relieve symptoms, slow the
progression of heart failure, and improve one's quality of
life. Lifestyle changes that may be helpful in preventing
or relieving heart failure include those recommended by
the American Heart Association and other organizations
as part of a heart-healthy lifestyle.

È Medications help control both the underlying


causes of heart failure and the symptoms. Medications
are the most critical part of therapy for heart failure.
Usually, several types of medications are required to
address as many of the physiologic imbalances as
possible. These medications include:
È   - enlarge the small arteries or arterioles, which
relieve the systolic workload of the left ventricle. The heart has to
work less to pump blood through the arteries. This also generally
lowers blood pressure. They block the production of angiotensin II,
which is abnormally high in congestive heart failure.
È   - improves the pumping ability of the heart, causing it to
pump more forcefully, a so-called positive inotrope.
È    - increase the pumping ability of the heart. These are
used as a temporary support of a very weak left ventricle that is not
responding to standard CHF therapy.
È  - cause the kidneys to remove excess salt and
accompanying water from the bloodstream, thereby reducing the
amount of blood volume in circulation. With a lower volume of
blood, your heart does not have to work so hard. The number of
red and white blood cells is not changed.
È Ê     - arterial vasodilators that are not used for
treatment of heart failure per se because clinical trials have proven
no benefit for prolongation of life. Calcium channel blockers are
useful for lowering blood pressure if the cause of the CHF is high
blood pressure and the patient is not responding to ACE inhibitors.
È    - drugs slow down the heart rate, lower blood
pressure, and have a direct affect on the heart muscle to lessen the
workload of the heart.
 Ê



È The only alternative is a heart transplant.
This option is for patients who are not
elderly and who do not have other medical
conditions that would make it unlikely for a
heart transplant to be successful. Heart
transplant evaluations are done in
specialized centers.

È Other treatment or procedures, such as


angioplasty or a pacemaker, may be
offered, depending on the underlying
cause of the heart failure.
È    This is an alternative to
coronary bypass surgery for some
people whose heart failure is caused
by coronary artery disease and is
compounded by heart damage/heart
attack. Angioplasty is used to treat
narrowing or blockage of a coronary
artery that supplies the left ventricle
with blood. A long, thin tube called a
catheter is inserted through the skin,
into a blood vessel, and threaded into
the affected artery. This procedure is
performed while the person is under
local anesthesia.
È m   : This device controls the
rhythm of the heartbeats. A pacemaker
is an electrode on the tip of a wire,
usually implanted inside the heart by
an electrophysiologist or specialized
cardiologist in the cardiac cath lab. This
wire goes to the right ventricle,
frequently with a second wire to the
right atrium (dual chamber pacemaker).
A pacemaker can stimulate a heart that
is beating too slowly to beat faster, or it
can control an irregular heartbeat
(sometimes, this requires medications
in addition to the pacemaker).
È    
 
A surgically implanted to
mechanically bypass the left
ventricle. A clinical trial showed that
complications are too high and the
device did not significantly prolong
life if used on a long-term basis.
This device is used as a temporary
left ventricle support to get the
patient awaiting a heart transplant
out of bed.
Totally implantable artificial hearts are
being developed for patients with
severe, end stage heart failure.
È These devices are most commonly
used as a temporary bridge to heart
transplantation.
È This technique is constantly
improving but is still limited to
specialized centers and is
considered experimental at this time
 


È Keeping an input and output record to identify a
negative balance.
È Weighing the patient daily at the same time and on
the same scale.
È Auscultating lung sounds at least daily to detect an
increase or decrease in pulmonary crackles.
È Provide general counseling and education about
sodium restriction.
È Encourage patient to exercise regularly
È Recommend avoidance of excessive fluid intake,
alcohol, and smoking.
È Assessing symptoms of fluid overload (eg.
Orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, and
dyspnea on exertion) and evaluating changes.
