Microscopic polyangitis

17
Q

df type A aortic dissection?

type B?

A

A - involves ascending aorta

B - descending aorta

18
Q

4 arteries most affected by atherosclerosis?

A

AA > coronary > popliteal > internal carotid

19
Q

4 modifiable risk factors for atherosclerosis?

A

hyperlipidemia
HTN
Cigs
DM

20
Q

2 complications of aortic dissection rupture?

A

cardiac tamponade

hemothorax

21
Q

2 types of ateriorolosclerosis?

wt causes each?

A

hyaline - mild, chronic htn

hyperplastic - malignant accelerated htn

22
Q

condition associated with PR3-ANCA/c-ANCA?

A

Granulomatosis with polyangitis

23
Q

steps to Intimal thickening?

A

SMCs migrate into intima and become proliferative (rather than contractile). they then synthesize ECM.

24
Q

wt cells in the vasculature are responsible for synthesis of collagen, elastin and proteoglycans?

A

SMCs

25
Q

wc vasculitis is known as the pulseless disease?

artery affected?

A

Takayasu vasculitis

Aortic arch

26
Q

vasculitis associated with coronary artery aneurysoms?

A

Kawasaki

27
Q

vasculitis associated with gangrene and amputation?

A

Buerger disease ( thromboangiitis obliterans)

28
Q

cause of aortic dissection?

A

intimal tear –> false lumen

29
Q

wt is the earliest lesion in atherosclerosis?

cell causing?

A

fatty streak

lipid-filled foamy macrophages

30
Q

wc vasculitis has GI symptoms?

complication?

A

PAN

microaneurysm

31
Q

vasculitis associated w palpable purpura?

A

microscopic polyangiitis

32
Q

2 main strucutures of atherosclerotic plaques? components of each
