Pathogenesis and management of congestive heart failure--revisited.
This study examines the pathogenesis of heart failure, emphasizing the interplay between fluid retention, vascular dynamics, and metabolic imbalances. It challenges the traditional 'backward failure' theory by highlighting that peripheral edema in heart failure arises not solely from right ventricular dysfunction but from systemic sodium and water retention, even when venous pressure remains normal. Early in heart failure, extracellular fluid expands significantly, accompanied by intracellular potassium loss and mild sodium depletion, likely due to osmotic shifts within cells. The text critiques the efficacy of vasodilator drugs (e.g., hydralazine, nitrates) in managing symptoms: while these agents alleviate pulmonary congestion by reducing capillary pressure, they fail to mitigate lactic acid production during exercise, indicating unresolved muscle ischemia. This suggests that improved cardiac output does not necessarily address peripheral metabolic deficits. Pulmonary edema is attributed to elevated capillary pressure exceeding plasma oncotic pressure, exacerbated by impaired lymphatic drainage. The discussion also addresses high-output heart failure, citing studies on beriberi and cor pulmonale to illustrate fluid and electrolyte imbalances during recovery. Metabolic balance analyses reveal profound extracellular expansion, intracellular potassium depletion, and osmolality changes. The text underscores the complexity of therapeutic approaches, advocating for strategies that target both forward (cardiac output) and backward (fluid retention) mechanisms. It emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary care to address the multifactorial nature of heart failure, integrating hemodynamic support with metabolic correction. Historical data from 1950s studies (e.g., Iseri et al.) and a 1982 clinical analysis provide foundational insights into fluid-electrolyte dynamics, reinforcing the importance of tailored interventions to manage both systemic and localized manifestations of the disease.
