Non-adherence factors may be internal or external to the patient and are difficult to extrapolate since they are complex (Lane et al.,2022). Mr Aloha’s history of having non-fluid adherence and noncompliance to medication may have resulted in the development of congestive cardiac failure. Congestive cardiac failure is the most common defect associated with the heart failure condition and a leading cause of admission and readmission, evident in Mr Aloha's test results. Elevated right and left ventricular filling pressures, increased peripheral demand, and muscular contractility cause this disorder. The arterial filling pressure rises as the contractility of the heart muscle decreases. As a result, lung congestion and dyspnea. Heart congestion is a sign of a patient experiencing heart failure symptoms. Orthopnea, increased jugular venous pressure, dyspnea, peripheral oedema, and hepatomegaly are clinically apparent. The patient in the case study above displays the signs that satisfy the diagnosis of congestive cardiac failure and fluid volume overload. The patient presents with signs of progressively worsening dyspnea with two-day onset with wheeze and right-sided pleuritic chest pain during the assessment. The evidence above proves fluid overload diagnosis and a possible congestive cardiac failure.
Congestive cardiac failure is a defect caused by different abnormalities such as high blood pressure and volume overload. In this case, Mr Aloha has had hypertension is. Not adhering to the medication is the main reason for congestive heart failure Mr Aloha. Another underlying condition that may be triggering the severity of congestive cardiac failure is Diabetes Mellitus type 2. With congestive cardiac failure, the weakened heart muscle walls cannot pump the blood as effectively. The kidneys may react by ensuring that the body retains water and salt. The result of fluid building up in the body is the congestion of body organs such as legs, arms, and lungs.
In efforts to adjust via numerous effectors to sustain cardiac output and fulfil systemic demands in the beginning phases of congestive heart failure, the myocardium strives to accommodate increasing wall stress by eccentric remodelling, increasing the loading circumstances and wall stress. A reduction in cardiac output triggers the production of hormones. These hormones include epinephrine, norepinephrine, endothelin-1 (ET-1), and vasopressin via the neuroendocrine system. It produces vasoconstriction, which results in higher hemodynamics. Increased myocardial oxygen demand is caused by a rise in afterload, myocardial contractility, and poor myocardial relaxation. This contradictory necessity for higher cardiac output to fulfil myocardial needs inevitably induces apoptosis and death in cardiac myocytes. (Seah et al.,2019).
The resin, aldosterone, and angiotensin systems make up the system's three main components. Renin, which is released mainly by the kidneys, stimulates angiotensin production in blood vessels. The mechanism, in turn, affects aldosterone secretion from the kidney's adrenal cortex. Renin affects the afferent arteriole of the juxtaglomerular cells' macula densa. In tubular cells, the renin actins on the macula dens aid in the sensation of chloride and salt. At the same time, the resin in the afferent arteriole constricts the arteries by raising arterial pressure and vascular resistance. It also impacts sodium absorption in tubular cells, increasing sodium retention in the body. The resin activates aldosterone, which stimulates the kidneys and causes salt and fluid retention. Vasopressin, an antidiuretic hormone, is likewise produced by resin. Vasopressin, in turn, affects the kidneys' fluid retention, resulting in overall body retention. Renin stimulates sympathetic nerve terminals through its activities. Sympathetic adrenergic activities are boosted as a result of the stimulus. Overall, the actions cause vascular enlargement, which leads to impaired heart function and congestive cardiac failure( Szabo et al.,2021).
In this case, an increased lactate production produced through anaerobic metabolism. Increased lactate production is produced through anaerobic metabolism, which reflects inadequate tissue perfusion in conditions such as heart failure (Seah et al.,2019).
Diabetes Mellitus can contribute to structural heart disease and congestive heart failure development through systemic, cardiac, and cellular pathways. In people with diabetes, myocardial ischemia/infarction is a common cause of structural cardiovascular disease and heart failure. Hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia boost vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and inflammation(Boorsma et al.,2020).
