Cardiac/Pulmonary Flashcards
Pulmonary pathogens that enter through the aerogenous have ___________ distribution
cranioventral
What type of respiratory failure is a result of pulmonary interstitial edema and interstitial pneumonia
intrapulmonary restrictive respiratory failure
Restrictive respiratory failure
respiratory failure due to anything that takes up space within the thorax like pleural effusion, pneumothorax, or masses
Obstructive respiratory failure
respiratory failure as a result of reduced ventilation of the lungs due to obstruction of the movement of air in the airways of alveoli
like exudative pneumonia, pulmonary edema, or bronchitis
What is the most important defense mechanism of the lower airway
alveolar macrophages
What does a cranioventral lung lesion tell you
bronchopneumonia- injurious agent arrived via the airways
What does a diffuse lung lesion tell you
interstitial pneumonia the injurious agent arrive hematogenously pulmonary edema is diffuse
What does a multifocal lung lesion tell you
it is most often elbolic via bloodstream
What lung distribution does parasitic pneumonia caused by lungworm have
Dorsocaudal (multifocal pattern within)
What kind of respiratory failure occurs when there is chylous effusion in the pleural space
Extrapulmonary restrictive respiratory failure
What inflammatory exudate is indicative of the most severe acute lung injury?
Fibrinous Bronchopneumonia
Bronchiolitis fibrosa obliterans
adverse outcome of fibrinous pneumonia where there is fibrin exudation and necrosis of the airway epithelium and basement membrane
granulation tissue replaces fibrinous exudate and matures to fibrous connective tissie with epitheliazed
Produces a permanent intraluminal mass which impedes ventilation and clearance
fibrous airways polyps sequel to fibrinous and ulcerative bronchiolitis
Bronchiolotis fibrosa obliterans
expansion of the alveolar walls by exudate
Interstitial pneumonia (epithelial damage- aerogenous) or endothelial- hematogenous)
Ventricular dilation increases sarcomere length which enhances contractility
Frank-Starling Relationship
Horse. Fibrinous pleuritis. The tan material adherent to the pleura can be torn, but not down to the pleural surface.
Do you think this an acute or more chronic change, eg. 2 days or 10?
chronic, fibrin is being organized by granulation tissue
How might you get concentric hypertrophy
thickening of the muscle due to increased pressure (afterload)
How might you get eccentric hypertrophy
dilation from increase volume (preload)
What is a likely cause of eccentric right ventricular hypertrophy
eccentric hypertrophy is caused by increase in volume (preload)
-Right AV valve endocardiosis being a cause
What would result from a chronic pressure overload (increased afterload)
myocardial hypertrophy leading to concentric hypertrophy
What would result from chronic volume overload (increase preload)
combined ventricular dilation and hypertrophy
leading to eccentric hypertrophy
In patients with patent ductus arteriosus presenting with cyanosis, what is the most predominant direction of blood shunt in the heart
Pulmonary artery to the aorta
What is ventricular hypertrophy without dilation, seen in Maine Coons, Ragdolls, and DSH
idiopathic primary hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
What is the main consequence of aortic valve stenosis
hypertrophy of the left ventricle due to pressure overload
