(181 cards)
the large
aorta
medium
coronary
small
ulcers
pathology occurs by
impairment of blood flow
ischemia
reduction in flow insufficient to meet oxygen demands of tissues
injury
reversible
infarction
irreversible with necrosis
what has an active role in controlling vascular function
endothelium
dysfunctional cells produce
inflammatory cytokines
endothelial dysfunction
endothelial dysfunction describes potentially reversible changes in endothelial function that occur in response to environmental stimuli
endothelial dysfunction: products that cause inflammation
cytokines, bacteria, viruses, hemodynamic stresses, lipid products, hypoxia
dyslipidemia is a major cause of
atherosclerosis
dyslipidemia is a imblance of
lipid components (triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterol)
5 types of lipoproteins but we only will be focusing on 2, what are they
LDL and HDL
where is the synthesis of lipoproteins
small intestine and liver
primary dyslipidemia
may have genetic basis, defective synthesis of apoproteins may occur, defective or lack of lipid receptors
familial hypercholesterolemia is what kind of dyslipidemia
primary
familial hypercholesterolemia ___ receptor is deficient of defective, autosomal _________ disorder. cholesterol levels can be as high as 1000
LDL, dominant
secondary dyslipidemia
dietary, obesity, metabolic changes associated with DMT2
hypercholesterolemia
increase in serum cholesterol levels
screening for hypercholesterolemia is appropriate for children as young as two who have
a family history of heart disease or high cholesterol
LDL is good or bad
bad, LOSER CHOLESTEROL
LDL is the main carrier for
cholesterol
LDL receptors predominantly located in
hepatocytes
