Arteriosclerosis Flashcards
Arteriosclerosis meaning ??
P-68
Hard arteries = Thickening of the blood vessel wall
Arteriosclerosis types ??
P-687
- Atherosclerosis
- Arteriolosclerosis
- Monckeberg medial calcific sclerosis
P-68
Atherosclerosis in which layer ??
Intimal plaque - obstruct blood flow
P-68
Parts of atherosclerosis??
- Necrotic lipid core = Cholesterol
- Fibromuscluar cap
P-68
Which calcification in atherosclerosis??
Dystrophic
P
Involves artery of atherosclerosis >?
ACPI
A=Abdominal aorta
C=Coronary artery
P=Popliteal artery
I = Internal carotid a
po
Modifiable risk factors of atherosclerosis??
- HTN
- Hypercholesterolemia
- LDL inc
- HDL dec
- Smoking
- Diabetes
P-68
Non-modifiable risk factors of atherossclerosis ??
P-68
- Age
- Gender
- Genetics
- Fmaily history is highly predictive risk factors
- Male + Post menopausal female
Pathogenesis of atherosclerosis??
A BIG SHIT ????
-Damage of endothelium
-Leak of lipid to the intima
-Lipid gets oxidized
-Taken up by macrophage (scavenger receptor )
-Foam cells formation
-Inflammation and healing
-Deposition of ECM
-Proliferation of smooth muscle = Fibromuscular cap
Fibromuscular cap formation ??
P-68
Smooth muscle + ECM
P-69
Morphology of atherosclerosis??
=Fatty streaks
=Flat yellow lesion of the intima
=Lipid laden macrophage
P-69
Progression of atherosclerosis?
Atherosclerosis plaque
P-69
Stenosis of medium sized arteries impaired blood flow and ischemia —leads to -
3 artery atherosclerosis = 3 pathogenesis
- Coronary artery = Angina
- Popliteal a= Peripheral vascular disease
- Mesenteric a =Ischemic Bowel d
P-69
Narrowing of small arterioles is called ??
Arteriolosclerosis
Plaque rupture complication in atherosclerosis??
- Coronary artery = MI
- Middle cerebral a = stroke
P-69
