Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Background

  • Idiopathic form accounts for 25% of CHF

Diagnosis

  • CHF symptoms
  • CXR
    • Cardiomegaly, pulm venous htn
  • ECG
    • LV hypertrophy, poor R wave progression

Treatment

  • Similar to CHF exacerbation
  • Ensure exacerbation not due to ischemia

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Background

  • "HOCM"
  • Abnormal LV diastolic function due to decr compliance

Diagnosis

  • Exertional dyspnea, chest pain, syncope
  • Systolic murmur that increases w/ valsalva
  • ECG
    • LV hypertrophy, deep Qs in 1, avL, V5-6 (daggers of death)

Treatment

  • If decompensated presents as hypotensive CHF
    • Preserve preload
      • Careful hydration
      • Avoid high airway pressure if intubate
    • Limit tachycardia
      • Beta blockers
    • Avoid vasodilators (no nitrates)
    • Maintain sinus rythm (i.e. cardiovert A. fib)
    • Increase afterload (hypotensive only)
      • Phenylephrine

Restrictive Cardiomyopathy

Background

  • Must distinguish from constrictive pericarditis

Diagnosis

  • Consider if CHF but no e/o cardiomegaly or systolic dysfunction

Treatment

  • Symptom directed (diuretics and ACEI)
