91
Q

heart changes during HTN

A

heart has to pump harder due to increased peripheral P

= LV hypertrophy

92
Q

LV hypertrophy problems

A
  1. unlike during exercise hypertrophy (with adds capillaries and BS) , no added BS is added = can lead to increased O2 demand and ischemia —-> systolic dysfunction —-> systolic HF (cant pump blood out from heart)
  2. stiff muscle = cant completly relax and lower cavity space —-> Diastolic HF
93
Q

systolic dysfunction

A

cant pump adequately based on peripheral P

= increased O2 demand

94
Q

diastolic dysfunction

A

inability to relax

dilated cardiomyopathy
= causes VOLUME OVERLOAD
= walls are dilated and overstretched and weak

= can cause concentric hypertrophy****
97
Q

dilated cardiomyopathy causes

A 
= excessive alcohol 
= myocarditis
= drugs 
= FE overload

  1. skin changes (lentigines)
  2. endocrine dysfunction
  3. PRKAR1A
136
Q

ball and valve type obstruction what happens

A
  1. dyspnea
  2. orthopnea
  3. pulmonary edema
  4. syncope (temporary loss of consciousness)
    - —> this can lead to wrecking ball (valve damage + can embolize

A

localized mass of mature lobulated fat

subendocardium, subepicardium, myocardium

138
Q

Papillary Fibroelastoma

A

“sea-anemone-like” lesions , usually on the valves (look like lambl excrescence) = increased risk of emboli

139
Q

Rhabdomyoma

A

hamartoma of developing cardiac myocytes
(TSC1 hamartin + TSC2 tuberin mutations)
= spider cells (glycogen filled)

140
Q

Angiosarcoma

A

malignant endothelial neoplasm

older adults

141
Q

associations of rhabdomyomas

A

= tuberous sclerosis causing many benign hamartomas all over the body

143
Q

tumor to the mediastinum comes from where usually and can do what

A

lymphoma or bronchogenic carcinoma

—-> vascular obstruction leading to superior vena cava syndrome

144
Q

muscin tumors come from what and can cause

A

nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis =

procoagulation mediators released

145
Q

seratonin mediator release from what tumor

A

carcinoid heart disease

146

pheochromocytoma releasing catecholamine mediators

147
Q

plasma cell neoplasm in what and releases what

myeloma

= amyloidosis

148
Q

cellular and antibody mediated rejection of heart transplant happen when

A

months to years after

againts there HLA Ag

149
Q

most significant limitation after heart transplant

A

allograft vasculopathy

150
Q

allograft vasculopathy

A

almost all have it after 10years
= progressive stenosing intimal proliferation of coronary As,
= lead to MI and ischemia
= usually silent MI (due to loss of nerves)

151
Q

common side effect of taking immunosuppressant from heart transplant

A
  1. EBV (T-cell therapy pts)

2. melanoma, BCC, SCC

152
Q

aging heart changes

A

reduction in compliance and elasticity in vessels and heart

see this in increased collagen deposits pts

153
Q

aging heart on the valves

A
  1. fibrous mitral valve –> buckling prolapse during systole —-> A dilation + arrhythmia (Afib)
  2. calcific deposits —-> aortic stenosis
  3. Lambl excrescences
154
Q

aging heart on chambers

A
  1. LV cavity reduced size (esp from HTN)

2. Atrial Dilation (from fibrous mitral valve)

155
Q

aging heart and atherosclerotic changes

A
  1. significant stenosis (MI, aortic dissection if effecting vasa vasorum….)
156
Q

lambl excrescents from what

A

small thrombi or minor endothelial damage (small whister sea urchin looking things on valves)

157
Q

aging heart epicardial and myocardial

A
  1. increase fat epicardial (less muscle)
  2. lipofuscin accumulation (oxidant stress, catabolism product)
  3. Basophilic degeneration (glycoprotein accumulation)
  4. Myocyte loss
  5. Amyloid (transthyretin transporting thyroxine) = stiffens heart
158
Q

amyloid does what to the heart

A

can cause senile cardiac amyloidosis = stiffens heart and thickening of walls = SOB, exercise intolorance, HF eventually
