Chapter 9 Flashcards
(49 cards)
1 cause of morbidity in US
vascular disease
Vascular disease MC involve
arteries
2 mechanisms of vascular disease
narrowing/obstruction of lumen, weakening of vessel wall
3 layers of vascular structure
tunica intima, tunica media, tunica adventitia
which vascular layer has endothelia cells
tunica intima
which vascular layers has smooth muscles
tunica media
which vascular layer has CT, nerves, and vessels
tunica adventitia
what separates the tunica intima from media
internal elastic lamina
what separates the media from adventitia
external elastic lamina
the interior vascular wall recieves its nutrient supply from
diffusion of blood from lumen
the exterior vascular wall recieves nutrient supply via
vasa vasorum
during endothelial activation, endothelial cells become pro inflammatory and we see
clot formation
dilation of cerebral vessels
berry aneurysm
connection of a large artery to a large vein
fistula
local thickening of medium/large artery walls resulting in ischemia
fibromuscular dysplasia
fibromuscular dysplasia is MC in
young adult females
___% of HTN is idiopathic “essential HTN”
95
severe HTN >200/120 is lethal within
1-2 years
3 types of arteriosclerosis
ateriolosclerosis, monckenberg medial sclerosis, atherosclerosis
CA++ within arteries, no stenosis, not clinically significant
Monckenberg medial sclerosis
MC age of Monckenberg medial sclerosis
> 50
99% of arteriosclerosis is
atherosclerosis
takotsubo cardiomyopathy aka
broken heart syndrome
excessive vasoconstriction on the heart
takotsubo cardiomyopathy / broken heart syndrome
