What organ has the highest A-VO2 difference during a test?
Brain
What organ has the lowest A-VO2 difference?
Kidney
Where does Type A thoracic aortic dissection occur?
Ascending aorta (occurs in cystic medial necrosis, syphilis)
Where does type B thoracic aortic dissection occur?
Descending aorta (occurs in trauma, atherosclerosis)
What layers does a true aortic aneurysm occur?
Intima, media and adventitia
What layers does a pseudo aortic aneurysm occur?
Intima and media
What is pulse pressure?
Systolic- Diastolic pressure
What vessel has the thickest layer of smooth muscle?
Aorta
What vessels have the most smooth muscle?
Arterioles
What vessel have the largest cross-sectional area?
Capillaries
What vessel has the highest compliance?
Aorta
What vessel have the highest capacitance?
Veins and venules
What is your max heart rate?
220 - age
What is Stable Angina?
Pain with exertion (atherosclerosis)
What is unstable angina?
Pain at rest (transient clots)
What is Prinzmetal’s angina?
Intermittent pain (coronary artery spasm)
What is Amyloidosis?
Stains congo red, echo apple green birefringence
What is hemochromatosis?
Fe deposit in organs => hyperpigmentation, arthritis, DM
What is cardiac tamponade?
Pressure equalizes in all 4 chambers, quiet precordium, no pulse or BP, kussmaul’s sign, pulsus paradoxus (lower >10 mmHg BP w/inspiration)
What is transudate?
An effusion with mostly water
Too much water:
- heart failure
- renal failure
Not enough protein:
- cirrhosis (cant make protein)
- nephrotic syndrome (pee protein out)
What is an exudate?
An effusion with mostly protein
Too much protein:
- purulent (bacteria)
- hemorrhagic (trauma , cancer, PE)
- fibrinous (collagen vascular dz, uremia, TB)
- granulomatous (non-bacterial)
What is Systole?
Squish heart, LOW blood flow to coronary aa, more extraction of O2 (phase 1 korotkoff)
What is diastole?
Fill heart, increase blood flow to coronary aa, less extraction of O2 (phase 5 korotkoff)
What are the only arteries w/ deoxygenated blood?
Pulmonary arteries and umbilical arteries
What murmur has a Waterhammer pulse?
AR
