All Heart Talks 

The heart is most frequent organ mentioned in:

The Glorious Qura’n  Hadith “Prophet sayings”  Poetry and literature by all languages  Relation to emotions 


IN THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE IBN EL NAFIS (1210-1288 A.D.)

Referred to as Avicenna the Second.

Abu Al Hassan Ala Addin Abu Al Hasm 

He said that heart has only two ventricles and explained the coronary circulation. He discovered pulmonary circulation well before Harvey.


IN THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE William Harvey in 1628

HEART FAILURE EFFECT ON ORGANS


Heart Failure is a complex clinical syndrome that can result from any structural or functional cardiac or noncardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the heart to respond to physiological demands for increased cardiac output. (European Society of Cardiology 2012)


HF Epidemiology ď‚— Prevalence: 22 millions HF patients in the world.

ď‚— Incidence: 2 millions new HF cases diagnosed / year.

Pathophysiology of HF 

Decreased cardiac output results in   

Activation of Neurohormonal Mechanism   

 End Diastolic Pressure (LVEDP), LVH, LVD  Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure (PCWP) The development of pulmonary edema Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone- System (RAAS) Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) Other circulating and paracrine effects

Counter-regulatory systems 

Natriuretic Peptide System (BNP, pro BNP)

• Hemodynamic

• Neuro hormonal

• Autonomic

• Microenvironmental

Models of HF


Cardiac Remodeling Na and H2O retention, ď Š Performance Myocyte hypertrophy, death, fibrosis Dilated and spherical ventricle, thinned


Hemodynamic Model and targets Factor

Mechanism

Therapeutic Strategy

1. Preload (work or stress the heart faces at the end of diastole)

increased blood volume and -salt restriction increased venous tone---diuretic therapy >atrial filling pressure -venodilator drugs

2. Afterload (resistance against which the heart must pump)

increased sympathetic stimulation & activation of renin-angiotensin system ---> vascular resistance ---> increased BP

- arteriolar vasodilators NTG, ACEI, Hydralazine

3. Contractility

decreased myocardial contractility ---> decreased CO

-inotropic drugs (cardiac glycosides)

4. Heart Rate

decreased contractility and decreased stroke volume ---> increased HR (via activation of b adrenoceptors)

Heart rate lowering (BB, Dig)

Engaging family


In-patient assessment Assessment of learning needs

• Identify cognitive level • Determine the acuteness of their disease

Assessment of learning style

• To match a teaching strategy • Identify patient’s literacy

Family interview

• To fill missing information • Assess the home situation • Assess family member support and participation

Selfmanageme nt


Heart Failure Nurse Family Assessment of knowledge about Heart Failure, and readiness to learn Selfmanagement education

Education Discharge planning

Education Phone follow up within 3-7 days from discharge

Education Heart Failure clinic

Encourage diet and medication compliance, promote exercise, regular symptoms monitoring, and daily weight.


Conclusions Patients seeking ED care for decompensated HF had inaccurate HF beliefs and poor self-care adherence. Lack of association between HF beliefs and self care (and trend of an inverse relationship) reflects a need for pre-discharge HF education, including an explanation of what HF means and how it can be better controlled through self-care behaviors Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2014


Self-Family Management Education

Medication compliance

Daily weighing

Salt and fluid restriction

Activity and exercise

Smoking cessation

Signs and symptoms of Heart Failure


Patient will assume responsibility Maximizes individual’s independence

choose healthier life style

Reduces disease related complication

Increase satisfaction

Promote patient active involvement

Ensures continuity of care Improve medication adherence

GOALS of CARE


Assess: Goals of care

Goals of care change over time and may include: 

Maintaining and improving function.

Staying in control.

Relief of suffering.

Prolonging life for as long as possible or until a specific event (time limited trials of care).

Quality of life/ living well.


Assess: Goals of care (continued) 

Pain and symptom management.

Strengthening relationships.

Preferences for location of care.

1.

Psychosocial care for person.

2.

Psychosocial care for family.

3.

Spiritual care.

.

Preferences for location of death.

.

Life closure/ dying well.


Communication: Vital for EOL care Patient experiences 

Being seen.

Being heard.

Being met.

Family and caregivers’ experience 

Support in transitions.

Establish partnership with clear goals of care and a plan for the future.


Who supports HF End of Life care?    

Primary care physicians and HF Specialists Home and Community Care palliative teams Patients and families/caregivers Linking with...   

Acute care hospitals and tertiary ambulatory services End of Life Care programs and services Local Hospice Societies and other community services

Produces patient- family centred interdisciplinary practice


Ambiguous dying

“There will not be a distinct terminal phase. The week we die will start out like any other and some unpredictable calamity will occur. Amongst those of us with advanced heart failure, we will have had a 50-50 chance to live for six months on the day before we died� Joanne Lynn: Sick to Death and Not Going to Take it Anymore (2004)


Integrating the palliative approach


Improved survival



Needs of the family/caregivers


CONCLUSIONS


Integrated care: Shifting the focus in HF Meeting the majority of people’s health care needs by providing high quality, accessible, community based health care and support services

 Built around attachment to a family physician and an

integrated health care team (HF nurse).  Stronger voice for the patient, family and local community in the design and delivery of healthcare services.  More focus on proactive management of chronic HF Pt to remain independent.
