護理師監測一位高輸出量心臟衰竭(High-output HF)病人。下列哪種狀況是其常見誘因?
A nurse is monitoring a client with high-output heart failure. Which of the following conditions is a common cause?
- ASevere anemia✓ 正解嚴重貧血
- BAortic stenosis主動脈瓣狹窄
- CHypothyroidism甲狀腺機能低下
- DMyocardial infarction心肌梗塞
高輸出量心臟衰竭(High-output Heart Failure)是指心臟功能本身正常,但因身體代謝需求過高(如甲狀腺亢進、嚴重貧血、敗血症),心臟被迫提高心輸出量(Cardiac Output)以供應組織氧氣,最終導致心臟不堪負荷而衰竭。嚴重貧血時,血液攜氧能力下降,心臟必須加速跳動並增加輸出量來彌補組織缺氧,長期下來會誘發心衰竭。此類心衰竭的特徵為心搏過速與心輸出量正常或升高,與常見因心肌受損導致的低輸出量衰竭機轉不同。
High-output heart failure occurs when the heart, although structurally normal, cannot meet the body's excessive metabolic demands (e.g., hyperthyroidism, severe anemia, sepsis). In severe anemia, the reduced oxygen-carrying capacity forces the heart to increase rate and stroke volume to maintain tissue oxygenation. Over time, this compensatory hyperdynamic state can lead to heart failure. Characteristics include tachycardia and a normal or elevated cardiac output, in contrast to low-output failure from myocardial damage.
