14a Hemodynamics Flashcards

1
Q

Define: edema, thrombosis, embolism, infarction, hemorrhage

A

Edema: water extravasation into interstitial spaces via contraction, retraction, direct injury, or transcytosis
Thrombosis: clot formation at inappropriate site
Embolism: migration of a clot which ledges in a blood vessel
Infarction: cell death due to obstruction of blood flow, ischemic necrosis
Hemorrhage: inability to clot after injury

Q

Pathologic causes of edema

A

Increased hydrostatic pressure: more tendency to push water and salts out of capillaries into the interstitial space; impaired venous return (DVT) or increased venous pressure (CHF)

Reduced plasma osmotic pressure: reduced synthesis or excessive loss of albumin; nephrotic syndrome (hypoalbuminemia), cirrhosis of the liver (dec albumin), protein malnutrition

Lymphatic obstruction: trauma, fibrosis, invasive tumors, infectious agents -> impaired clearance of interstitial fluid -> lymphedema; lymphatic filariasis (genitals and lower limbs), peau d’ orange

*Na and H2O retention: -> increased hydrostatic pressure (intravascular fluid expansion), diminished vascular colloid osmotic pressure (dilution), decreased renal perfusion; 1º kidney disorders, cardio disorders

Q

Q

Hyperemia vs congestion

A

Hyperemia: active process from augmented tissue inflow due to arteriolar dilation; tissues turn red (engorged oxygenated blood); skeletal muscle during exercise (inc blood flow)

Congestion: passive process from impaired outflow of blood; inc hydrostatic pressure; red-blue (deoxy blood accumulation andred cell stasis); cardiac failure (systemic) and isolated venous obstruction (localized)

Q

Acute hepatic congestion vs chronic hepatic congestion

A

Acute: distended CV and sinusoids w blood; centrilobular hepatocyte = ischemic necrosis, periportal hepatocytes = better O2

Chronic: right sided heart failure (CHF); red-brown centrilobular regions; tan colored parenchyma

Q

Hemorrhage clinical correlates

A
  1. Hematoma accumulation (bruise, retroperitoneal hematoma, rupture of aneurysm)
  2. Intracranial hemorrhage = compromises blood supply and herniates brain
  3. Chronic/recurrent external blood loss -> iron loss -> iron deficiency anemia

16
Q

Petechiae vs purpura

A

Petechiae: 1-2 mm; low platelet (thrombocytopenia),defective platelet function in uremia (elevation of BUN & creatinine); clotting deficits, locally increased intravascular pressure

Purpura: 2º to trauma, vascular inflammation (vasculitis), increased vascular fragility (amyloidosis)

17
Q

Defects of secondary hemostasis

A

From coagulation factor defects

Bleeds into soft tissues (muscle) or joints

18
Q

Generalized effects

A

Hematoma

Palpable purpura
Ecchymoses: >1-2 cm subcutaneous hematomas

19
Q

Function of normal hemostasis

A

Maintain blood in a fluid, clot-free state in normal vessels

Induce rapid and localized hemostatic plug at site of vascular injury

20
Q

Normal hemostasis 1 vasoconstriction

A

Reflex neurogenic mechanisms -> vasoconstriction

Endothelin: vasoconstrict

21
Q

Normal hemostasis 2 primary hemostasis

A
Subendothelial ECM: platelet adherence and activation, Platelets-Glycoprotein Ib receptors-VWF
Platelet activation (disc -> plate)
Secretory granule release: ADP, Thromboxane A2

Form reversible hemostatic plug (no fibrin)

22
Q

Normal hemostasis 3 secondary hemostasis

A

Tissue factor (Factor III + thromboplastin) -> coagulation cascade 0> activate thrombin

Thrombin: converts fibrinogen to fibrin -> create fibrin meshwork + platelet recruitment

23
Q

Normal hemostasis 4 Thrombus and anti-thrombotic effects

A

Fibrin + platelet = permanent (platelet) plug

Tissue plasminogen activator: activates plasminogen -> plasmin; fibrinolysis, clot resorption and tissue repair
Thrombomodulin: blocks coagulation cascade

24
Q

(antithrombotic properties) Antiplatelet effects

A

Adenosine diphosphatase: degrades ADP -> inhibit platelet aggregation

25
Q

(antithrombotic properties) Anticoagulant molecules

A

Heparin-like molecules: with antithrombin III = inactivate thrombin, factor Xa, etc.
Thrombomodulin: binds to thrombin to make it into anticoagulant via activation of protein c
Protein c: inhibits clotting, cleaves factor Va and VIIIa
Protein s: cofactor for protein c and TFPI
TFPI: inhibits factor VIIa and Xa

26
Q

(antithrombotic properties) Fibrinolytic effects

29
Q

(antithrombotic properties) antifibrinolytic effects

A

PAIs: inhibit fibrinolysis and favors thrombosis

30
Q

Platelet cytoplasmic granules

A

a-granules: has P-selectin, for coagulation (fibrinogen, factor B, factor VIII, VWF)

d-granules: contain ADP and ATP (platelet aggregation), Ca (coagulation cascade), histamine, serotonin, epinephrine

31
Q

Platelet adhesion

A

platelet - GpIIb-IIIa - fibrinogen - GpIIb-IIIa - platelet - GpIb - VWF

Bleeding disorders:
no VWF: von willebrand disease
no GpIb: bernard-soulier syndrome
no GpIIb-IIIa: Glanzmann thrombasthenia

32
Q

Platelet shape change

A

Altered GpIIb-IIIa = inc affinity of platelets to fibrinogen

Translocation of neg phospholipids (to prevent Ca binding and coagulation cascade)

33
Q

Platelet secretion

A

Thrombin: activate platelet with protease-activated receptor (PAR)
Release of granule contents: ADP and TxA2 (inc platelet recruitment)
Aspirin: inhibit cyclooxygenase (for synthesis of TxA2) -> inhibit platelet aggregation
Pro-inflammatory effects of thrombin: PAR -> proinflamm effects

34
Q

Platelet aggregation

A

GpIIb/IIIa: ADP activation -> fibrinogen binding
Thrombin: fibrinogen -> fibrin

further platelet activation and aggregation -> platelet contraction -> secondary plug
