This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: CHF, Drug Therapy improve cardiac contractility, S/Sx My patient weakness, fatigue, dizziness, confusion, Drug Therapy Arterial vaso- dilators, reduce HTN., as tissue perfusion decreases the blood accmulates in the pulmonary vessels Peripheral edema, Left ventricular end diastolic volume is increased as well as the preload decreases the lumen of the coronary arteries, Risk Factors Substance abuse alcohol and illicit drugs, Diagnostic tests proteinuria and high specific gravity in urinalysis, Risk Factors Cardiac infections and inflammations, Drug Therapy reduce afterload improve stroke volume, inability of heart to generate adequate cardiac output to perfuse vital tissues as tissue perfusion decreases the blood accmulates in the pulmonary vessels, as tissue perfusion decreases the blood accmulates in the pulmonary vessels causes edema in the pulmonary system, Electrolyte imbalance Mainly from diuretic MY PATIENT Na+ low, Causative Factors Cardiomyopathy, Diagnostic tests ECG, MUGA, PAP PAWP, S/Sx Oliguria scant urine output, Left sided heart failure (or left ventricle) inability of heart to generate adequate cardiac output to perfuse vital tissues, Causative Factors Hypertensive coronary artery, and valvular disease involving the mitral and aortic valve, causes edema in the pulmonary system My patient Pulmonary congestion and breathlessness, Congestive Heart Failure Diagnostic tests, Congestive Heart Failure Risk Factors
