Short-Term and Long-Term Responses

To Impaired Cardiac Performance


Response

Salt and
retention

Short-term Effects
(mainly adaptive;
hemorrhage, acute
heart failure)
water Augments preload

Vasoconstriction

Sympathetic
stimulation
Cytokine activation

Maintains pressure
for perfusion of
vital organs (brain,
heart)
Increases heart rate
and ejection
Vasodilatation

Hypertrophy

Unloads individual
muscle fibers

Increased collagen

May
dilatation

reduce

Long-term Effects
(mainly
deleterious;
hemorrhage,
chronic
heart
failure)
Pulmonary
congestion,
anasarca
Exacerbates pump
dysfunction,
increases

energy expenditure

Clinical Classification of Cardiomyopathies


1.

2.

3.

Dilated: Left and/or right ventricular


enlargement, impaired systolic function,
congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, emboli
Restrictive: Endomyocardial scarring or
myocardial infiltration resulting in restriction
to left and/or right ventricular filling
Hypertrophic:
Disproportionate
left
ventricular hypertrophy, typically involving
septum more than free wall, with or without an
intraventricular systolic pressure gradient;
usually of a nondilated left ventricular cavity.

LABORATORY EVALUATION OF THE CARDIOMYOPATHIES

Electrocardiogram

Moderate to marked cardiac


silhouette enlargement
