• Injury to heart muscle, such as:
• Myocardial infarction
• Myocarditis
• Arrhythmia
• Toxic exposures
• Chagas’ disease
C. V. Pollack, Jr. and V. G. Riese
Presentation
Typical/“Classic”
• Most patients with acute heart failure present with shortness of breath.
• Dyspnea on exertion and orthopnea are common.
• Chest pain and palpitations are not uncommon.
• Patients with right-sided failure only will complain of dependent edema,
weight gain, and swelling of the abdomen.
Atypical
• Patients may present only with weight gain or nocturia.
• Chest pain or palpitations without dyspnea would be unusual.
Primary Differential Considerations
• Patients who present with signs and symptoms of heart failure should also be
evaluated for these potential diagnoses:
• Acute coronary syndrome
• Pulmonary embolism
• COPD exacerbation
• Pneumonia
History andPhysical Exam
• In the history, focus on symptoms of uid overload and pump failure, such as:
• Dyspnea (specically asking about dyspnea at rest vs only with exertion,
and about nocturnal dyspnea/orthopnea)

32 Heart Failure
• Peripheral edema and ascites (socks leaving indentations, having to loosen
belt)
• Nocturia and insomnia
• Fatigue
• Generalized weakness
• Abdominal pain (which may result from hepatic congestion)
• On physical examination, there are a number of ndings associated with heart
failure that should be sought:
• Pulmonary rales

Rales. [Rales Lung Sounds; Easy Auscultation; www.easyauscultation.com;

• Peripheral edema
• Hepatomegaly
• Orthopnea
• Third heart sound (S3 gallop)

• Fourth heart sound

• Neck vein distention
Findings that Conrm Diagnosis
• More than two or three of the signs and symptoms are strongly suggestive of
heart failure. Conrmation of the diagnosis (and important prognostic information) is obtained by echocardiography.

481
Factors that Suggest Diagnosis
• More than two of the signs and symptoms listed above are suggestive and
warrant specic evaluation
Factors that Exclude Diagnosis
• A normal echocardiogram and a normal brain-type natriuretic peptide (BNP
level) exclude heart failure. It may not be possible to exclude the diagnosis
fully on clinical grounds alone.
Ancillary Studies
Laboratory
• Baseline CBC (to exclude anemia) and renal function should be evaluated
• Urine should be checked for protein, blood, and glucose
• Serum electrolytes (especially potassium) should be checked
• A BNP level should be checked
Electrocardiography
• Electrocardiogram should be obtained to evaluate rhythm and to look for left
ventricular hypertrophy or Q-waves. There are no pathognomonic ndings for
heart failure on ECG.

Imaging
• Chest x-ray should be obtained to look for cardiac enlargement, pleural effusion, signs of pulmonary edema, COPD, or pneumonia.

Other Studies
• None indicated in initial evaluation.
Special Populations
Age
• With rare exception, heart failure is a disease of older patients, with the incidence increasing with increasing age.

Co-morbidities
• Co-morbidities may include:
• Hypertension
• Renal disease
• Cardio- and cerebrovascular disease
• Drug and alcohol abuse
Pitfalls inDiagnosis
Critical Steps Not toMiss
• Recognition of acute heart failure that may precipitate circulatory collapse or
severe pulmonary
Mimics
• Potential mimics include:
• Pneumonia
• COPD
• Acute coronary syndrome
• Pulmonary embolism
Time-Dependent Interventions
• Provide ventilatory and circulatory support as needed.
• Noninvasive ventilation should be attempted before intubation and mechanical ventilation unless the patient is already in ventilatory failure.
• Initiation of diuresis.
Overall Principles ofTreatment
• Relief of uid overload and improvement in ventilatory and circulatory status
are paramount.
• Diuresis with attention to electrolyte levels will improve symptoms.

32 Heart Failure
• ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers will improve long-term management.
• Diet and exercise counseling will help patients manage their symptoms
better.
