May Lecture: Systolic Heart Failure
Authors: Susan C. Brozena, MD, FACC, FAHA & Mariell L. Jessup, MD, FACC
Two noted medical directors of the University of Pennsylvania's highly regarded Heart Failure/Transplant Program define heart failure and its causes ... and review the current classification system that divides heart failure into four stages – A being high risk; B denoting structural cardiac abnormality but no symptoms; C structural abnormality with symptoms; and D end-stage symptoms that don't respond to treatment.
With illustrations that clarify and expand upon their discussion, the authors explain concentric versus eccentric hypertrophy and how reduced output leads to decreased perfusion and activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. They also detail the various compensatory mechanisms that come into play. Describing the importance of the renin- angiotensin- aldosterone system in controlling blood pressure, the authors review its effects which include sodium retention and concomitant loss of potassium and magnesium as well as the consequences of long- term activation.
