SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
This heart sound is a classic sign, high indication Physical exam finding, of CHF due to increased ventricular filling pressures.
What is an S3 gallop?
This lab test is helpful for telling us if there is volume overload but does not determine why there is volume overload
What is BNP?
This form of heart failure is characterized by a dilated, weak ventricle and reduced ejection fraction.
What is HFrEF?
What is the mnemonic for therapy for acute CHF Exacerbation?
what is LMNOP?
Loop, Morphine, Nitrates, Oxygen, Position
This loop diuretic is better to take orally and is more potent than Furosamide
Bumetanide
Orthopnea and Paroxysmal Nocturnal Dyspnea indicate which type of heart failure?
What is Left Sided Heart Failure?
What imaging is best used for the diagnosis of CHF?
What is an Echocardiogram?
Thickened, stiff ventricles with impaired relaxation but preserved EF describe this condition.
What is HFpEF
Lasix, Morphine, Nitrates, Oxygen, and Position upright are included in this management strategy.
What is acute CHF exacerbation treatment?
IV loop dieurtics are used in acute CHF to avoid which complication if used by other means?
Gut swelling
Peripheral edema and jugular venous distension are hallmark findings of this condition.
What is right-sided heart failure?
This Diagnostic Test is useful for identifying ischemia or arrhythmias but does not confirm CHF.
What is an ECG?
is the most common cause of systolic heart failure in adults?
what is IV furosamide
Beta blockers should not be used in CHF patients with these two conditions?
Cardiogenic Shock, Hypotension
This physical exam maneuver has high specificity for heart failure when positive
What is hepatojugular reflux?
This diagnostic test is the gold standard for differentiating ischemic from nonischemic cardiomyopathy.
What is a Left Heart Catheterization?
HFpEF symptoms can happen due to impaired ventricular _______ instead of ________
What is filling, contraction.
This medication should be started in pulmonary edema if systolic BP is greater than 100
Nitroglycerin
ACE inhibs are held if which electrolyte levels are elevated
What is Potassium
Displacement of the point of maximal impulse suggests this underlying cardiac abnormality in CHF.
What is ventricular dilation?
Chest X-Rays are the first line imaging to rule out CHF. True or false?
False.
Reduced cardiac output in CHF activates this neurohormonal system, worsening fluid retention
What is the RAAS?
Patients with an ejection fraction less than 35 percent and NYHA class 2-3 should receive which specific treatment
IMplantable cardioverter defibrillator
