Differential Diagnosis of Heart Failure
Heart Failure Secondary to Coronary Artery Disease
A. Underlying Mechanisms
- Ischemic Preconditioning
- Reductions in ischemia-related apoptosis
- Increases in endogenous adenosine
- Activation of potassium-adenosine triphosphate (K+-ATP) channels
- Electrical Dysfunction
- QT prolongation
- Increased susceptibility to arrhythmia
- QT dispersion
- Mechanical Dysfunction
- Systolic dysfunction
- Diastolic dysfunction
- Biochemical Dysfunction
- Increases in beta-adrenergic receptor density
- Changes in structural and regulatory proteins
- Shift to FFA as a proffered metabolic substrate
- Lactate production
- Elevated BNP concentration
B. Utilisation of Clinical Data
Management of heart failure due to coronary artery disease are primarily influenced by following parameters:
- An estimate of the relative proportions of:
- Viable but ischemic myocardium
- Nonviable myocardium
- Viable non-ischemic myocardium
- The technical feasibility of successful mechanical revascularization
- The extent and severity of comorbidities in the individual patient
