CHAPTER 19DISORDERS OF CARDIAC FUNCTION
Essentials of Pathophysiology
PRE-LECTURE QUIZ
Pericarditis represents an inflammatory process of the myocardium.
All types of angina represent an acute myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack.
The heart extracts and uses 60% to 80% of the oxygen in blood flowing through the coronary arteries.
Atherosclerosis is by far the most common cause of coronary heart disease.
Stable atherosclerotic plaques tend to rupture more than unstable atherosclerotic plaques and lead to acute coronary syndromes, ranging from unstable angina to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

PRE-LECTURE QUIZ Cardiac __________ is a life-threatening, slow or
rapid compression of the heart due to the accumulation of fluid, pus, or blood in the pericardial sac.
Rheumatic heart disease, a disorder that follows a group A _____________ throat infection, is of great concern because of the potential effects of chronic valvular disorders that produce permanent cardiac dysfunction and sometimes fatal heart failure years later.
__________ refers to a narrowing of the valve orifice and failure of the valve leaflets to close properly.
Creatine kinase, myoglobin, and troponin are known as serum cardiac __________ and are useful for acute myocardial infarction determination and classification.
Coronary heart disease is a disorder of impaired __________ blood flow, usually caused by atherosclerosis.

DISORDERS THAT AFFECT THE WHOLE HEART Pericardial disorders Coronary heart disease Myocardial diseases
These disorders can cause symptoms of both right- and left-sided heart failure
THE PERICARDIUM SURROUNDS THE HEART
PERICARDITIS
Inflammation of the pericardium causes: Pain Exudate
º Serous pericardial effusion Cardiac tamponade: rapid accumulation of
exudate compresses the heartº Fibrous friction rub; adhesions
ECG changes
PERICARDITIS (CONT.)
Inflammation of the pericardium may restrict the heart’s movement due to: Serous exudate filling the pericardial
cavity (pericardial effusion) Fibrous scar tissue making the
pericardium stick to the heart (constrictive pericarditis)
CONSEQUENCES OF
PERICARDIAL EFFUSION
fluid in pericardial cavity
restricts heart expansion
left ventricle cannot accept enough blood
decreased cardiac output
decreased blood pressure and
shock
right ventricle cannot accept enough blood
increased venous pressure; jugular
distension
QUESTION
What is the immediate treatment for severe cardiac tamponade?
a. Oxygenb. Cardiac drugsc. Surgeryd. Pericardiocentesis (removal of fluid
from the sac with a needle)

QUESTION

a. Oxygenb. Cardiac drugsc. Surgeryd. Pericardiocentesis(removal of fluid from the sac with a
needle)
ANSWER
d. Pericardiocentesis (removal of fluid from the sac with a needle)
Rationale: In severe cardiac tamponade, there is so much fluid in the pericardial sac compressing the heart that its function declines rapidly. The fluid must be removed quickly by inserting a needle into the pericardial space and aspirating the accumulated fluid.
PULSUS PARADOXUS On inhaling, the right ventricle fills with extra blood When the right ventricle is overfilled, the left ventricle is compressed and cannot accept much blood. Because the heart cannot fully expand On the next heartbeat, the left ventricle does not send out much blood: systolic BP drops
CORONARY HEART DISEASE Atherosclerosis blocks coronary arteries Ischemia may cause:
Angina Heart attack Cardiac arrhythmias Conduction deficits Heart failure Sudden death
Plaque/Thrombus Formation
CHRONIC ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE Imbalance in blood supply and the
heart’s demands for oxygen Less blood
º Atherosclerosisº Vasospasmº Thrombosis
Higher oxygen demandº Stressº Exerciseº Cold
KINDS OF ANGINA Stable angina
Pain when heart’s oxygen demand increases
Variant angina Pain when coronary arteries spasm
Silent myocardial ischemia Myocardial ischemia without pain
ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROMES ECG changes
T-wave inversion ST-segment depression or elevation Abnormal Q wave
Serum cardiac markers Proteins released from necrotic heart
cellsº Myoglobin, creatine kinase,
troponin
QUESTION
Tell whether the following statement is true or false.
Chronic ischemic heart disease is more likely to result in stable angina than acute coronary syndromes.
ANSWER TrueRationale: Ischemic heart disease is
characterized by stable angina, which is associated with plaques that are fixed obstructions. Unstable angina is characterized by plaques with platelets stuck to them (these are likely to form a thrombus)—they cause a range of acute coronary syndromes.
ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION Chest pain
Severe, crushing, constrictive, OR like heartburn
Sympathetic nervous system response GI distress, nausea, vomiting Tachycardia and vasoconstriction Anxiety, restlessness, feeling of
impending doom Hypotension and shock
Weakness in arms and legs
AN ACUTE MI (AMI) LEAVES BEHIND AN AREA OF YELLOW NECROSIS
COMPLICATIONS OF AMI Heart failure Cardiogenic shock Pericarditis Thromboemboli Rupture of the heart Ventricular
aneurysms
MALFUNCTIONING HEART MUSCLE Malfunctioning heart muscle can cause
heart failure if: Ventricles are unusually thick so there is
not a normal amount of room for blood inside them (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy)
Ventricles are too stiff to stretch (restrictive cardiomyopathy)
Ventricles are too weak to pump out the blood that is in them (MI, myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy)
MYOCARDIAL DISORDERS Myocarditis Cardiomyopathies
Dilated cardiomyopathies Hypertrophic cardiomyopathies Restrictive cardiomyopathies Peripartum cardiomyopathy
HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY Defects in their
contractile proteins make cells too weak
They hypertrophy to do the same amount of work as normal cells
Need more oxygen and perform less efficiently, so the person is prone to heart failure and may suffer sudden death during exertion
QUESTION
Which type of cardiomyopathy is characterized by weakened ventricles?
a. Dilated cardiomyopathyb. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathyc. Restrictive cardiomyopathyd. Peripartum cardiomyopathy
ANSWER a. Dilated cardiomyopathyRationale: In dilated cardiomyopathy,
the ventricles are too weak to pump blood, resulting in a diminished cardiac output (CO). The other types listed are caused by thick ventricles, stiff ventricles, or LV dysfunction in late pregnancy or postpartum, respectively.
VALVULAR DISORDERS AND HEART DEFECTS By
interfering with normal blood flow, these often cause the signs and symptoms of left- or right-sided heart failure
right heart
lungs
left heart
body
THE ENDOCARDIAL STRUCTURES The endocardial structures lining the
heart can cause heart failure If the AV valves leading into the
ventricles do not work (mitral or tricuspid problems)
If the semilunar valves leading out of the ventricles do not work (aortic or pulmonary problems)
CARDIAC CYCLE
Discussion:Arrange these steps in the proper order:– Ventricles relax – First heart sound– Start Systole – Semilunar valves open– End Diastole – AV valves close– AV valves open – Semilunar valves close– Ventricles contract – Second heart sound

VALVE DEFECTS Each of the four valves can be defective Stenosis: valve will not open all the way;
it is harder to force blood through it Regurgitation: valve will not close all the
way; it leaks when it should be closed Also called valvular insufficiency
QUESTION Tell whether the following statement is
true or false.Mitral valve regurgitation results in a
diminished stroke volume.
ANSWER
TrueRationale: If the mitral valve does not
close as it should, a portion of the stroke volume (amount of blood ejected by the ventricle/beat) leaks back into the left atrium, decreasing the amount of blood that is ejected during that beat (SV).
DISCUSSIONDefects in which valves might cause: Severe dependent edema? Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea? Congested liver? Distended jugular veins? Productive cough with frothy sputum?
IDENTIFYING DEFECTIVE VALVES The blood going through the valve
makes a noise These are called heart murmurs You can identify them by:
Where they are—which valve are they near? How they sound—high- or low-pitched? When they happen—systole or diastole?
WHEN WILL YOU HEAR MURMURS? If a valve is stenotic,
you will hear a murmur of blood shooting through the narrow opening when the valve is open
If a valve is regurgitant, you will hear a murmur of blood leaking back through when the valve should be closed
LEFT-SIDED VALVULAR DISORDERS Mitral valve disorders
Mitral valve stenosis Mitral valve regurgitation Mitral valve prolapse
Aortic valve disorders Aortic valve stenosis Aortic valve regurgitation
•Aortic Valve Stenosis•Aortic valve is constricted•Difficult to pump blood from the LV•LV hypertrophy
•Mitral Regurgitation•Part of SV goes back
into the LA•Heart has to work
harder to meet body needs
•LV hypertrophy•Mitral Stenosis•Incomplete LV filling•Lower CO
•Aortic Regurgitation•Blood flows backward into the LV from the Aorta•LV Dilatation
Valvular Disorders
CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS Atrial septal defects Ventricular septal defects Endocardial cushion defects Patent ductus arteriosus Pulmonary stenosis Tetralogy of Fallot Transposition of the great
vessels Coarctation of the aorta
SHUNTS A shunt is an opening or connection
that lets blood move from one side of the circulation to the other
Most shunts occur in the heart and move blood either from the left to the right or from the right to the left
Because the left side is stronger, blood is usually pushed from the left to the right side
SHUNTS (CONT.) Shunts are normal before birth Foramen ovale
Lets blood go from the right atrium to the left atrium to bypass the lungs
Ductus arteriosus Lets blood go from the pulmonary trunk
to the aorta to bypass the lungs Ductus venosus
Lets blood go from the visceral veins to the vena cava, bypassing the liver
