Findings indicative of congestive heart failure on chest radiographs include enlarged cardiac silhouette, edema at the lung bases, and vascular congestion. In florid heart failure, Kerley B lines may be seen on chest radiographs. The absence of these findings in patients with clinical features of HF does not rule out CHF.
How is CHF diagnosed?Echocardiography can confirm the diagnosis. A displaced cardiac apex, a third heart sound, and chest radiography findings of pulmonary venous congestion or interstitial edema are good predictors to rule in the diagnosis of heart failure.
What are the clues to a CHF query?Be on the lookout for these specific clues to provide clinical support for a CHF query, says Spryszak: An echocardiogram that shows an ejection fraction (EF) of less than 40%, which is indicative of systolic heart failure, or an EF of greater than 50%, which generally indicates diastolic heart failure.
What are the indicators of heart failure?Physician orders that reference cardiology consults, an echocardiogram, or a heart failure standing order set. Other indicators, such as a CHF teaching form, CORE measures documentation form, or a nursing assessment that includes jugular venous distension, moist breath sounds, shortness of breath, or labored breathing.
