BLOOD VESSELS Flashcards
vessel change seen in hypertension , essential and DM
hyaline arteriolosclerosis
vessel change in malignant hypertension
hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis
what are the two important causes of atherogenesis
hypercholesterolemia, hemodynamic changes
enumerate the steps of atherogenesis
LDL is deposited on the luminal wall, cells release ros , damages them and is now engulfed by the macrophage who then releases growth factors and causing the middle cell layer to migrate to the intima
most common sites of involvement of atheromatous plaque in descending order
lower abdominal aorta cornary artery popliteal carotid circle of willis
components of an atheromatous plaque
fibrous cap and lipid core,neovascularization
percentage of vessel occlusion which is considered critical in the coronary arteries
70%
marfan , has a defect in _____
ehler’s danlos
marfan: fibrillin
ehler’s danlos: collagen
part of the aorta affected in collagen disorders (kind of aneurysm)
thoracic
abdominal: classic hypertensive, fifty, with atheroslcerosis
vasculitis of the small and medium blood vessels morphology; how bout large vessel?
small and medium: necrotizing
large: granulomatous
vasculitidis mechanism polyarteritis nodosa
immunecomplex deposition
vasculitis mechanism in small vessels
mediated by anti neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody
vasculitis mechanism in kawasakin
anti endothelial cell antibodies
vasculitis mechanism in large vessels
t cell mediated: granuloma formation
differentiate takayasu and large cell arteritis
large cell older than fifty temporal arteries seen in the temporal arteries associated with polymyalgia rheumatica presntation: headache
takayasu: occurs in older than fifty, branches of the aorta,
presentation: visual disturbances, pulseless disease
morphology: seen as granulomatous changes in the middle layer, with t cell proliferation
