Cardiac Patholgoy Flashcards
Acute RF due to
β-hemolytic strep
Acute Rheymatif Fever JONES
- J: Migratory polyarthritis, swelling and pain in large joints
- O: Pancarditis
- N: subcutaneous nodules
- E: Erythema marginatum
- S: Sydenham chorea
Adult coarctation of aorta presents with
- HT in the upper extremities and hypotension with weak pulse in lower extremities
- Notching of ribs on x-ray
- Bicuspid aortic valve
Antischkow cells are
Reactive histocytes with slender, wavy nuclei seen in myocarditis in acute RF
Aortic regurg sound
Early, blowing diastolic murmur
Aschoff bodes are
foci of chronic inflammation seen in Myocarditis due to acute RF
Compications of MI in < 4 hours
Cardiogenic shock
CHF
Arrhythmia
Diastolic dysfunction
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Restrictive cardiomyopathy
Differential cynosis is
Lower extremity cyanosis due to PDA
Dilated cardiomyopathy caused by
- AD mutation of dytrophin
- Myocarditits due to Coxsackie A or B
- Alcohol
- Cocaine
- Pregnancy
Eisenmenger syndrome
When septal defect switched from L-R shunt to R-L shunt leading to:
- RV hypertorphy
- Polycythemia
- Clubbing
Endocarditis and underlying colorectal carcinoma
S. bovis
Endocarditis in Acute RF
Mitral valve has small vegetations along lines of closure that lead to regurgitation
Endocarditis of prosthetic valves
S. epidermidis
Endocarditits and Negative blood culture
HACEK
- Haemophilus
- Actinobacillus
- Cardiobacterium
- Eikenella
- Kingella
First Gross change of heart after MI in
4-12 hours
Mild molting
Heart-failure cells are
Hemosiderin-laden macrophages found in lungs due to Left-sided CHF
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is due to
AD mutation in sarcomere proteins
IV drug uses and Endocarditis
S.aureus on tricuspid
Macrophages microscopically seen in MI
4-7 days
Mitral regurg sounds
Holosystolic blowing murmur that is louder with squatting and expiration
MVP is due to
Myxoid degeneration of the valve making it floppy
Usually due to Marfan or Ehlers-Danlos
