Q

How does a ACE inhibitor and Angiotensin 2 receptor blocker drug lower BP?

A

ACE promotes conversion of Angiotension 1 to Angiotensin 2
Angiotensin 2 constricts bv, increasing BP and also causes release of aldosterone from adrenal which cause Na/water retention

Blocking will prevent these

29
Define normal hemostasis.
Series of regulated processes that maintain blood in a fluid, clot-free state in normal vessels while rapidly forming a localized hemostatic plug at the site of vascular injury
30
Define thrombosis
the formation of blood clot (thrombus) in intact vessels or within chambers of the heart
31

Vascular wall Platelets Coagulation cascade
32
What trippers the clotting process to begin? What causes it?
Exposer of the sudendothelial matrix Caused when the blood vessel is injured and endothelial cells are lost
33

Vasoconstriction to stop the bleeding that resulted from the injury
34
By what 2 mechanisms does vasoconstriction occur in response to injury?
Neurogenic mechanisms- nerves Release of endothelin (transient)
35
Is the process of vasoconstriction stable?
No it is transient Temporary fix requires next step
36
What is primary hemostasis? Does it result in a stable clot? When does it occur?
Formation of a non stable clot (aggregation of platelets to prevent blood leakage) After vasoconstriction triggered by exposure of Endo matrix
37
What are the steps involved in primary hemostasis?
Platelet adhesion (platelets adhere to subendo matrix) Platelet activation (shape change and platelet granule release) Recruitment (of platelets) Aggregation (temporary plug formation)
38
Describe the shape change and platelet granule release that occurs during the platelet activation step of primary hemostasis.
Shape change- round to flat with spikey protrusions to increase surface area Granule release- helps with platelet aggregation 1. ADP 2. TXA- thromboxane promotes aggregation
39
What steps are involved in secondary hemostasis? What does it result in?
Tissue Factor released (factor 3) binds to factor 8 Translocation of negatively charged phospholipids to platelet surface Coagulation cascade Thrombin activated Fibrin formed, more platelets activated Strong stable clot formed
40
What does thrombin do?
Fibrinogen to fibrin Generates fibrin which polymerizes the clot making it stable
41
Describe the steps involved in antithrombotic counterregulation.
Bleeding controlled Counterregulatory mechanisms limit the hemostasis process at the site of injury
42
What are the counregulatory mechanics that limit hemostasis during antithrombotic counterregulation? Why do we have these?
Clot can impair blood flow if it stays around so we want it gone Release TPA (tissue plasminogen activator) (fibrinolysis) and thrombomodulin (blocks coagulation cascade) to break down the clot
43
What do platelets form during injury?
Forms a hemostasis plug that seal vascular defects
44
What granules do the platelets release primary hemostasis?
α granules: Coagulation: Fibrinogen, coagulation factor and vWF – Wound healing: Fibronectin, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor, & fibronectin δ granules (dense bodies): ADP/ATP, Ca+, histamine, serotonin, epinephrine
45
What forms the tissue factor that is released during secondary hemostasis?
Platelets and endothelium
46
How do platelets adhere to the underlying basement membrane ECM following endothelial injury?
primarily through binding of platelet GpIb receptors to vWF
47
What mechanisms are involved in the activation of platelets?
Secretion of platelet granule contents→ Dramatic changes in shape and membrane composition→ Activation of GpIIb/IIIa receptors
48
What mechanisms are involved in platelets aggregation?
GpIIb/IIIa receptors on activated platelets form bridging crosslinks with fibrinogen→ Concomitant activation of thrombin promotes fibrin deposition, cementing the platelet plug in place.
49
What is Bernard Soulier syndrome?
Blood clot disorder GPlb on surface of platelets No aggregation, can’t clot, bleed easily
50
What is Glanzmann thrombasthenia?
Gpllb-llla complex forms a bridge with fibrinogen and platelets leading to fibrin Can’t form stable clot No fibrin
51
What is von Willebrand disease?
Von willebrand factor binds to Gplb is on surface of platelets This binding starts platelet aggregation No aggregation, can’t clot, bleeds easily
52
What are the 3 mechanisms by which the endothelium naturally prevents clotting when it is not needed?
Antiplatlet Anticoagulant Fibrinolytic
53
Describe the anti platelet properties of the endothelium.
Protection from the subendothelial ECM so it is not exposed NO, PGI2 (anti aggregation) and adenosine diphosphatase secreted by Endo to inactivate platelets to prevent clotting
54
Describe the anticoagulant properties of the endothelium.
heparin (blood thinner)-like molecules bind to antithrombin 3 degrades CF 2, 9, 10 Thrombomodulin Tissue factor pathway inhibitor
55
Describe the fibrinolytic properties of the endothelium.
tissue-type plasminogen activator (TPA) breaks blood clot Thrombomodulin binds to thrombin 2, activates protein C which inhibits 5 and 8
56
What are the 3 mechanisms by which endothelial cells respond to injury?
Activation of platelets Activation of clotting factors Antifibrinolytic factors
57
What factors can induce injury to the endothelium?
Infectious agents Hemodynamics TNF IL-1

Tissue factor Coagulation factors IXa and Xa
60
What occurs during antifibrinolytic phase of endothelium injury?
Plasminogen activator inhibitors (PAIs) inhibits TPA to keep clot intact
61
What is the coagulation cascade?
Successive series of amplifying enzymatic reactions Proenzyme is proteolyzed to become an active enzyme, which in turn proteolyzes the next proenzyme in the series
62
What are the 2 pathways of the coagulation cascade? What is their rate?
Intrinsic (contact)- slow Extrinsic (tissue factor)- fast b/c tissue factor is already there to be released
63
What is the end result of the coagulation cascade?
Leads to activation of thrombin and the formation of of Prothrombin(II)→Thrombin(IIa) (cleaves fibrinogen) Fibrinogen(I)→Fibrin(Ia)
64
What are the cofactors involved in the coagulation cascade? Why do we need cofactors?
Ca++ (binds to phospholipid) Phospholipid (from platelet membranes) Vit-K dep. factors: II, VII, IX, X, Protein S, C Cofactors are needed for the enzymes to function (activated proenzyme)
65
What is the purpose of coagulation tests?
To test the ability to clot
66
Describe the partial thromboplastin time (PTT). What pathway is it associated with?
measures how long it takes for plasma to clot screens for the activity of the proteins in the intrinsic pathway (factors XII, XI, IX, VIII, X, V, II, and fibrinogen) negative-charged particles (e.g., ground glass) that activate factor XII (Hageman factor), phospholipids and calcium are added to plasma
67
What treatment is PTT used to monitor the efficacy of?
Heparin treatment Heparin lengthens time to clot, we expect longer PTT

71
What is the fibrinolyitc system? What does it involve?
When we do not need to clot Plasmin breaks down fibrin and interferes with its polymerization Plasmin is generated by enzymatic catabolism of the inactive circulation precursor plasminogen
72
