Symptoms and signs of heart failureSymptoms and signs of heart failure
1.1. forward failure:forward failure: symptoms result from inability of the heart to pump enough symptoms result from inability of the heart to pump enough
blood to the peripheryblood to the periphery (from(from left heart), or to the lungs (from left heart), or to the lungs (from
the right heart)the right heart)
a) forward failure of left heart:a) forward failure of left heart:-- muscle weakness, fatigue, muscle weakness, fatigue, dyspepsia, oliguriadyspepsia, oliguria........
generalgeneral mechanism mechanism:: tissue hypoperfusiontissue hypoperfusion
b) forward failure of right heartb) forward failure of right heart:: - hypoperfusion of the - hypoperfusion of the lungs lungs disorders of gas disorders of gas exchangeexchange
- decreased blood supply decreased blood supply to the left heartto the left heart
2. backward failure:2. backward failure: – symptoms result from inability of the heart to accept symptoms result from inability of the heart to accept
the blood comthe blood commming from periphery and from lungsing from periphery and from lungs
a.a. backward failure of left heart:backward failure of left heart:
– – increased pulmonary capillary pressureincreased pulmonary capillary pressure dyspnea dyspnea
