诊断 & 心力衰竭的评估
心 failure progresses on a spectrum, with end-stage 心脏衰竭 being the most severe stage. Your 心脏衰竭 symptoms may progress over time. 最终, your symptoms may reach a stage where 心脏病专家 diagnose you with advanced 心脏衰竭.
Cardiologists will evaluate 心脏衰竭 regularly to monitor whether it’s progressing. They will use tests that check your heart function 和 symptoms:
Your cardiologist may diagnose advanced 心脏衰竭 if they notice any of these signs:
- Your cardiac output (how much heart your blood pumps in one minute) decreases.
- 你的肾脏和肝脏功能下降.
- 你的心脏压力增加.
- Your symptoms no longer respond to medications.
高级心力衰竭治疗方案
Your cardiologist will follow 心脏衰竭 treatment guidelines to determine what treatments may benefit you. 晚期心力衰竭, medications 和 lifestyle changes alone don’t effectively reduce your symptoms. 你可能需要其他治疗.
- 心脏再同步: Your cardiologist implants a device that delivers electrical impulses to your heart’s main pumping chambers. These electrical signals help your heart chambers to pump 和 squeeze at the same time. 这有助于增强你的心脏功能.
- Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD): Your cardiologist implants a small device that connects to your heart with small wires. An ICD will shock your heart back in sync if it detects an irregular rhythm.
- 心室辅助装置（VAD）: Your surgeon will place a VAD in one of your heart’s ventricles to help your heart pump blood to the rest of your body. You may use a VAD long-term or temporarily while waiting for a 心脏移植手术. Sometimes the 心室辅助装置 can lead to significant improvement of the heart function—a phenomenon called 心脏复苏. 大发娱乐的 team at U of U Health is considered a leader worldwide in therapies, 比如VAD等, 这可以导致心脏恢复.
- 心脏移植手术: Your surgeon will replace your heart with a healthy one from a donor.
