Heart failure 2013 Diagnostic Procedures
1. Medical Science Tanzania Cardiology Lectures
Congestive Heart Failure
2. Diagnostic procedures
Prof. Hennersdorf SES
March 2013 ghennersdorf DGK ESC SES 1
5. Definition of Heart Failure CHF
New York Heart Association (NYHA)
I no visible signs and symptoms
II signs and symptoms at high level exercise
III signs and symptoms at low level exercise
IV no physical exercise possible, bed rest
necessary
Mostly used functional definition of CHF throughout the world!
March 2013 ghennersdorf DGK ESC SES 5
6. NYHA
NYHA II NYHA III NYHA IV
NYHA I without clinical signs and symptoms
March 2013 ghennersdorf DGK ESC SES 6
7. Physical examination: general
• Dyspnea (rest, exercise), Orthopnea
• Weight gain, swelling of the legs
• Nocturia
• Tachycardia (Palpitation)
• Fatigue
• Sweating
• Nausea, vomiting, cough
• Anorexia
• Cachexia (cardiac)
March 2013 ghennersdorf DGK ESC SES 7
11. Physical examination: acute vs. chronic
• acute
– Severe symptoms
– No weight gain due to rapid onset
– Tachycardia
• Chronic
– Less severe symptoms (NYHA classes)
– Weight gain
– Nausea, vomiting, cough
– Anorexia
– Cachexia
March 2013 ghennersdorf DGK ESC SES 11
14. Physical examination: heart sounds
S1 S2 S3
midsystolic murmur Sound
ECG
March 2013 ghennersdorf DGK ESC SES 14
15. Physical examination:
functional tests
6-min walk: Pt. is forced to walk as he likes walking,
standing, running etc. The achieved distance is
documented
and should reach
>350 (female) - 400 (male) m
weak but reproducible relation to peak O2-
consumption
Ergometry: objective measurement of workload, but
also used for rehabilitation in special cases or
postoperatively (HTX): sitting or supine, treadmill
preferred
March 2013 ghennersdorf DGK ESC SES 15
16. Physical examination:
Exercise device ergometry equipment
ECG Cart
Emergency Kit
(necessary)

24. Chest XRay CXR
normal finding

before therapy after successful therapy
March 2013 ghennersdorf DGK ESC SES 26
27. Angiography indications
Underlying disease (CHD) with therapeutic
consequences (PCI, CABG)
Intervention (cardiogenic shock)
March 2013 ghennersdorf DGK ESC SES 27
28. Left heart failure, hemo + angio
Angio

hemodynamics
Left ventricle shape, size and function Pumping, blood delivery, work
March 2013 ghennersdorf DGK ESC SES 28
29. Left heart failure:
right heart hemodynamics
SWAN GANZ Catheter PA Pressure monitoring
March 2013 ghennersdorf DGK ESC SES 29
30. Left heart failure, hemodynamics
Measurements:
Cardiac output
Ventricular filling pressures,
Vascular resistances
Work load
Work capacity
Limited clinical value, limited use to invasive cases (Cathlab,OP),
potentially harmful!
March 2013 ghennersdorf DGK ESC SES 30
31. HF parameter by heart catheterization
Some hemodynamic values
Cardiac output/index norm 2-2.5 l(min/m 2)
Stroke work norm 21 mjoule
enddiastolic pressure norm 12 mm Hg
Vascular bed resistances (norm)
TPR 1200 dyn*sec*cm-5
PVR 70 dyn*sec*cm-5
Clinical use limited to ICU control
during vasoactive therapy
e.g. of cardogenic shock
March 2013 ghennersdorf DGK ESC SES 31
32. CHF parameter by angiography*
Ejection fraction EF
EDV**
EF = --------------- x 100 (%)
EDV**-ESV***
Norm = 70%
Strongest predictors
Reduced = <40%
Low= <20% of survival and prognosis
*today fairly achieved by echocardiography
**Enddiastolic volume/area
*** endsystolic volume/area

33. Angiography diagnose: LV shape
Systole
Regional scar Diastole
EF < 20%
red lines
Diastole show normal
contraction
Regional scar
Systole
Anterior wall infarction
Dilated cardiomyopathy

35. CHF and MRI
• Dimensions
• Contractility, Viability
• Valve function
MRI crossectional
sequence of dilated LV
March 2013 ghennersdorf DGK ESC SES 35
37. Biochemistry
Red, white BC
Blood sedimentation rate
Electrolytes
Urinalysis, Kreatinine
Enzymes (GOT, GPT, LDH, CK, CKMB, Troponine)
CRP (Inflammation)
Epinephrine/Norepinephrine levels scientific
Peptide (BNP/ANP) levels mostly scientific, but probably
prognostic
Value: diagnostic, prognostic, therapy control
March 2013 ghennersdorf DGK ESC SES 37
38. Biochemistry: BNP/NT-proBNP
BNP= brain natriuretic peptide
(delivered in myocardial atrial tissue
during atrial stress)
regulating hormone in order to reduce atrial stress
Inactive precursor of BNP = NT-proBNP
Blood test after 10 min valid
Mostly valid to exclude CHF under clinical conditions
