More prone to heart disease and strokes
26
What are the effects of thrombosis?
Tissue injury by local vascular occlusion or by distal embolization
27
What are the different paths thrombi may do?
1. Propagate- get larger 2. Resolve 3. Become organized- blood clot will integrate into the lining of the BV wall 4. Embolize- Break away to other body sites
28
What are the different forms of thormbosis?
Venous Thrombosis and Arterial/ Cardiac Thrombosis
29
What are the different forms of venous thrombosis and where is it mostly found?
Found mainly in the veins of legs and can be: 1. Superficial veins 2. Deep veins
30
What are the effects of superficial veins?
Local congestion, swelling, pain, and tenderness but rarely embolization
31
What are the effects of deep veins?
Can embolize to the lung and eventually affect the heart
32
What causes arterial thrombosis?
Atherosclerosis
33
What causes a cardiac mural thrombus and where does it occur?
Myocardial infarction (obstruction of blood supply to heart) - The thrombus will form on the lining of the heart
34
What are cardiac and aortic mural thrombi prone to?
Embolization to anywhere in the body with tissue thus it can cause tissue infarctions and organ infarctions
35
What is embolism?
Intravascular solid, liquid or gaseous mass that is carried by the blood to a site distant from its point of origin
36
Give examples of a solid, liquid and gas embolism.
1. Dislodged thrombus 2. Fat droplets 3. Bubbles of air or nitrogen 4. Atherosclerotic debris (cholesterol emboli) 5. Tumor Fragments 6. Bits of bone marrow 7. Amniotic Fluid
37
Where is pulmonary thromboembolism derived from and what are its effects/ consequences?
- Derived from lower extremity deep vein thrombi - Effects depend mainly on size of the embolus and the location it lodges - Consequences include: Right sided heart failure, pulmonary hemorrhage, pulmonary infarction, or sudden death
38
What is systemic thromboembolism derived from and what does it cause?
- Derived from cardiac mural or valvular thrombi, aortic aneurysms, or atherosclerotic plaques - Causes ischemic (blood flow/ oxygen restriction) necrosis (infarction) of downstream tissues which is dependent on site of embolization and the presence or absence of collateral circulation
39
What can happen if you have pulmonary thromboembolism of the lungs?
Since the lungs have dual blood supply you can still get blood supply depending on the location of the embolism
40
What is a saddle blood clot?
It affects the right and left sides of the lungs thus size and location matter
41
What is cholesterol emboli derived from, what can it cause, and what it it also known as?
AKA "Hollenhorst Plaque" It is derived from the carotid artery thus it affects the retina It can cause heart disease (atherosclerosis) which leads to stroke/ heart attack Not as close to the optic nerve
42
What is Calcific Embolus, what is it derived from, what is its location, and which test would you run?
It is made of calcium and from calcification of vales or arteries (aorta) in the heart it breaks away and goes to the retina You would run an echocardiogram test It is close to the central retinal artery and OPTIC NERVE
43
What is Fibrin- Platelet Embolus, what is its shape, what is its origin, and where is it located?
It is elongated and closer to the optic nerve It is similar to a blood clot but with large platelet collection It's origin is the Carotid Artery
44
What is the most likely consequence of deep vein thrombosis?
Pulmonary Thrombombolus
45
What is an infarction?
An area of ischemic necrosis caused by occlusion of the vascular supply to the affected tissue
46
What are causes of an infarction?
1. Arterial Thrombosis 2. Arterial Embolism 3. Venous outflow obstruction (rare)
47
What are features of an infarction caused by venous occlusion? Which type of tissue are they in?
They can occur in spongy tissues and are typically hemorrhagic (red)
48
What are the features of an infarction caused by an arterial occlusion? Which type of tissue are they in?
They can occur in compact tissues and are typically pale (white)
49
What influences infarct devolpment?
1. Anatomy of vascular supply 2. Rate of occlusion (slow is good so tissue can have collateral blood supply) 3. Tissue Vulnerability to ischemia 4. Blood oxygenation
50
What is ischemia?
When blood flow is restricted to certain body parts - Neurons: 3-4 mins to die - Heart: 30 mins to die
51
What does branch retinal artery occlusion result in? What does it look like?
It is localized and results in superior vision loss thus inferior retina is affected
52
What does central retinal artery occlusion result in? What does it look like?
The entire retina is affected and there is no vision - All retina in pale
53
What does branch retinal vein occlusion result in? What does it look like?
It has many hemorrhages on the veins of the retina
54
What does central retinal vein occlusion look like?
The entire retina is full of hemorrhages
55
Identify the infarction
Coagulative Necrosis
56

Coagulative Necrosis
58
What is shock?
Systemic hypoperfusion of tissues Hypoperfusion: Reduced amount of blood flow aka ischemia
59
What are the causes of shock?
1. Diminished cardiac output 2. Reduced effective circulating blood volume
60
What are the results of shock?
1. Inadequate tissue perfusion 2. Global cellular hypoxia 3. Fatality
61
What are the three types of shock?
1. Cardiogenic 2. Hypovolemic 3. Shock associated with systemic inflammation
62
What is the mechanism of cardiogenic shock? What are examples?

68
What is the starting factor of septic shock?
PAMPs from microbial products
69
What does PAMPs lead to?
1. Intrinsic pathway with Factor XII (12) 2. Complement activation 3. Endothelial activation 4. Neutrophil/ monocyte activation
70
What is the result of factor 12 activation?
- Procoagulant -. fibrin blood clots -> - Increase: tissue factor - Decrease: TFPI, thrombomodulin, proteinC
71
What does Procoagulant lead to?
Microvascular Thrombosis (DIC): Little blood clots everywhere -> tissue ischemia -> multiorgan failure
72
What is the result of endothelial activation
Anti-fibrinolytic: Increase in PAI-1 which prevents blood clot breakdown
73
What is the result of neutrophil and monocyte activation?
Systemic effects or immunosuppression via secondary anti-inflammatory mediators
74
What are the 3 stages of shock?
1. Nonprogressive 2. Progressive 3. Irreversible
75
What is nonprogressive shock?
-Compensatory mechanisms activated -> vital organ perfusion is maintained
76
What is progressive shock?
Hypoperfusion -> circulatory and metabolic derangement
77
What is irreversible shock?
Severe cellular and tissue injury -> hemodynamic corrections are of no use
78
What are the symptoms of septic shock?
1. Altered mental status 2. Oliguria/ anuria (decreased urine due to kidney failure) 3. Hypoxia 4. Cyanosis 5. Death
79
