16
Q

Atheroscclerosis
Higher incidence of disease
Medial calcification develops in LE arteries this is increased risk for cardiovascular events
Poor sensation (neuropathy)
Higher incidence of gangrenous change, amputations

A

Diabetes

17
Q

Two opinions:
May cause or enhance the development of the atherosclerotic disease

A

Hypertension

18
Q

Elevated plsama lipids assoc. with atherosclerosis development
Frequent cause: diet high in animal fat; metabolic issues based on heredity

A

Hyperlipidemia

19
Q

Most common arterial pathology

A

Thickening, hardening, loss of elasticity of the artery walls (loss of kinetic energy)

20
Q

Atherosclerosis (obliterans) occur in what layers of the vessel

A

intima and media layers

21
Q

Carotid bif
Aorto-iliacs
Common femoral artery biff
SFA distal (adductor canal)

A

Most common sites for atherosclerosis disease

22
Q

Caused by obstruction oif the arota occurs in males

A

Leriche syndrome

23
Q

fatigue in hips, thighs, or calves with exercise
Absence of femoral pulses
Impotence
Often times; pallor and coldness LE

A

Leriche syndrome

24
Q

Obstruction of vessel by foreign substance or blood clot

A

Embolism

25
Q

DIffuse, circumferential dilatation

A

Fusiform aneurysm

26
Q

Localized (sac-like)

A

Saccular aneurysm

27
Q

Small tear of the inner wall allows blood to form cavity between two wall layers. Often is in thoracic aorta

A

Dissecting

28
Q

a defect in main artery all (post catheter insertion)
must have communication from main artery to pulsatile structure outside vessel wall

A

Pseudoaneurysm

29
Q

Most common location of a true aneurysm is

A

infrarenal aorta

30
Q

Non-atherosclerotic lesions

A

Arteritis

31
Q

Inflammation of small vessels (finger and toes)

A

Arteritis

32
Q

Narrowing of the aorta
One of several congenital anomalies of arterial system

A

Coarctation of the aorta

33
Q

No dilatation
thin membrane divides the arterial lumen into 2 compartments
flow velocities differ in each lumen

A

Dissection

34
Q

Clinical findings for coarctation of the aorta is

A

Hypertension
Symptoms of LE
