Complications of Unstable angina pain

A

High risk of progression to MI if untreated

106
Q

For unstable angina on EKG

A

107
Q

Evolution of Plaque (8 steps of formation)

A
  1. Various stressors cause endothelial dysfunction
    - allows entry of lipids into subendothelial space
    2&3. Oxidized lipids cause cytokine release from
    endothelium = chemoattractant for monocytes
  2. Monocytes take in lipids, become foam cells
  3. Impaired foam cells produce superoxide anion O2-
    and mmp (matrix metalloproteinases)
  4. Smooth muscle cells migrate into intima
  5. Muscle cells divide and produce matrix, enlarging
    plaque
  6. Some muscle cells undergo apoptosis, fibrofatty
    lesion forms, lipid core with fibrous fibrous cap
108
Q

Smooth muscle cells – Synthesize vasoactive inflammatory mediators:

A
  • IL-6

* TNF- α

109
Q

3 functions of Smooth muscle cells (VIPP)

A

–Produce extra cellular matrix
–Vasoconstriction/dilation
–Promote leukocyte proliferation
–Induce endothelial expression of LAM (leukocyte adhesion molecule

Q

Complications of Atherosclerosis

A

Calcification
Rupture/ulceration of plaque
Transmural Hemorrhage

111
Q

Complications of Atherosclerosis:Calcification

A

Imparts rigidity,↓ elasticity, ↑ fragility

112
Q

Complications of Atherosclerosis:Rupture/ulceration of plaque

A

Leads to thrombus, occlusion, infarct

113
Q

Complications of Atherosclerosis; Transmural Hemorrhage (FHC)

A

– From Microvessel growth within plaques
– Hematoma further occludes vessel
– Can cause rupture

114
Q

Plaque Stability :Inflammatory cytokines stimulate

A

foam cells to secrete MMP

115
Q

MMP role

A

Breaks down collagen & elastin

Weakens fibrous cap predisposing it to rupture
