Large Group Session
Heart failure is the clinical syndrome that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood. Pathophysiology of heart failure. Phases of diastole. Frank- Starling law. Contractility. Afterload. Left ventricular pressure-volume loops. Neurohumoral compensation. Deleterious effects of aldosterone in heart failure. LV remodeling. Framingham criteria for CHF diagnosis. Pharmacologic therapy: Diuretics, ACE inhibitors and Beta blockers.
