• 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 andPhysical Exam
• In the history, focus on symptoms of uid overload and pump failure, such as:
• Dyspnea (specically 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

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

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

Factors that Suggest Diagnosis

• More than two of the signs and symptoms listed above are suggestive and warrant specic 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 inDiagnosis
Critical Steps Not toMiss
• 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 ofTreatment
• 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.
