Cardio Module 5 Flashcards
What are diseases of veins?
- varicose v.
- chronic venous insufficiency
- DVT
define varicose v.
- pooling of blood in superficial v. of lower
etiology of varicose v.
valve damage via
- trauma
- prolonged venous distention
can lead to edema w/in local tissue
What causes transient varicose v.?
- pregnancy
What is CVI?
- insufficient venous return from the LE for chronic periods of time
CVI etiology
- DVT
- valve deficiency/varicose v.
- lack of muscle pump
CVI complications
- poor healing of local trauma/pressure sores may develop into venous stasis ulcers
What is the difference b/t thrombus vs. thromboembolism?
- attached to vessel wall vs. free floating
factors in DVT
Virchow’s Triad
- venous stasis
- endothelial damage
- hypercoagulable states
What is used to identify DVT?
- Wells Criteria
What does a high Wells Criteria indicate? low?
- high risk of DVT
- low risk of DVT
diseases of arteries?
- aneurysm
- thrombi/emboli
- PAD (atherosclerotic vs. non)
- HTN, hypotension
pathogenesis of AAA
- destruction of elastin and collagen
- inflammation
- biochemical wall stress
- family hx
classifications of AAA by layers
- true (all 3 layers of vessel)
- false (only the outer layer)
classification of AAA by shape
- saccular (side pocket)
- fusiform (circumferential widening of artery)
MC origin of arterial thrombembolism
- heart valve disease
Where can a dislodged left heart valve thrombi obstruct?
- LE circulation
- coronary circulation
- cerebral circulation (stroke)
other forms of arterial emboli
- air
- fat
- amniotic fluid
- bacteria
- FB
What is the MC form of PAD?
- atherosclerotic
pathogenesis of PAD?
- grows a plaque
primary site of PAD involvement
- femoral + popliteal
ABI values
- normal: 0.9-1.3
- severe:
ABI values correlated w/ sxs
- normal: >0.90
- claudication (leg pain): 0.5-0.9
- rest pain: 0.21-0.49
- tissue loss:
