Week 1 Old Flashcards
(74 cards)
Diseases associated with HT
Atherosclerosis
Hypertensive heart disease
Multi-infract dementia
Aortic dissection
Renal failure
What is it?

Hyaline arteriolosclerosis
What is that

Hyoerplastic Artheriosclerosis
proliferation of smooth muscle
Development of artherosclerotic plaque (image)
Hypothesis?

Response to injury
- Endothelial injury
- Lipoprotein accumulation
- Monocyte adhesion and formation of foam cells
- Platelet adhesion
- Smooth muscle cell recruitment
- Smooth muscle cell proliferation and ECM production
- Lipid accumulation
Structure of atherosclerotic plaque
Neroctic center
Fibrous cap

Main cause of ischemica heart disease
90%+ obsutructive atherosclerosis
Acute conornary syndromes
Angina pectoris (not yet level of infraction) - stable/unstable
MI
Chronic IHD with HF
Sudden cardiac death
Causes of MI without coronoary vascular path
Vasospasm - cocaine, platelet aggregation
Emboli - AF, vegetation from inefective endocarditis,
Vasculitis, ssc, amyloid, vascular dissection, shock
Direction of MI
Endocardium otwards
Types of IHD
Transmural infraction - necrossi of full thickness - chonic atherosclerosis, actue plaque change - ST elevation
Subendocardial infraction - 1/3-1/2 of ventricular wall - reduction of flow - Non-ST infracts
Cardiac markers
Myoglobin
CK-MB (sensitive)
Troponin (sensitive/specifci)
Causes of HF
Valve disease
Hypertension
IHD w/ MI
Fluid overload
Calcific aortic stenosis
Cause
Age
Wear and tear
7-9th decade, 5th–7th decade inherited
Mitrial annular calcification
What is it
Calcification in the peripheral fibrous ring
Does not affect valvular function
Mitrial valve prolapse
sound
midystolic click
When aschoff bodies are presetn
Components of aschoff bodies
Acutre rheymatic heart disease
Lymphocytes, plasma cells, antischkow cells
What is only casue of mitrial stensosi
Chronic rheumatic fever (no aschoff bodies)
Inefective endocarditis
What i it
Diagnosis
Acute?
Subacute?
Colonization or invasion of the heart vales or mural endocardium by a microbe
Duke criteria
Previously normal by highly virulent, necrotizing, ulcerative, desturctive, difficult to treat with antiboitics
Deformed valves, less destructive, cure with antibitocs
Difficerence betwen non-baceterial thrombotic endocarditis and Libman-Sacks endocarditis?
No necrossi in non-bacterial thrombic endocarditis
Non-bacterial thrombic endocarditis
Deposition of sterile thrombi on the cardiac valves
Not invasive or inflammed
Associateed with cancer, sepsis, or hypercoagulable state
Libman-Sacks disease
disease
deposition material
inflamation
SLE
finely granular, fibrinous eosinophilic materail with hematoxylin bodies
valvulitis
Cardiomyopathy types
Dilated - dilation and contraction dysfunction
Hypertorphic - problem with diastolic filling and outflow obstruction
Restrictive - ventricular compliance and impared filling
Symptoms of vasculitis
Organ ischemia
Large:Temporal (Giant Cell) Artheritis
Population
Location - Symptoms
Dissetion
Treatment
Most common in adults, females usually
Branches of carotid (headache, ophatalmic, jaw claudication, flu like symptoms, esr elevated)
Granulomatous vasculitis
Corticosteroids (high risk of blindness)
