Abstract
According to the CDC (2020), heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood and oxygen to support other organs in your body. Heart failure is an epidemic disease affecting 1-2% of the population worldwide (Schwinger, 2020). It is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide with an estimated 6.5 million adults with heart failure in the United States (Lo et al., 2021). Medical advances have increased the survival of those diagnosed with heart failure (Lerman, et al., 2019a) leading to an increased prevalence of those with cardiovascular risk factors undergoing non-cardiac surgeries (Smilowitz et. al., 2018). Patients with existing heart failure undergoing surgery are at an increased risk for major cardiovascular complications such as death, myocardial infarctions, and stroke (Smilowitz, et al., 2018). The attached poster explores defining heart failure, the pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, and treatment of heart failure. Due to the increased risks of morbidity and mortality associated with patients with heart failure in the perioperative period, nursing and perioperative considerations are also discussed.
