Cardio - Periheral Vascular Disease Flashcards
Venous Disorder characterized by clot formation and acute inflammation in a superficial vein
Superficial thrombophlebitis
Venous Disorder characterized by clot formation in a deep vein
Deep Venous thrombosis
Chronic venous engorgement secondary to venous occulsion or incompetency of venous valves
Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Inflammatory and thrombotic occlusions of small arteries and also of veins occuring in smokers
Thromboangitis obliterans
a.k.a Buerger’s Disease
Common vascular cuases of edema (give 3)
- Recent DVT
- Chronic Venous Insufficiency from previous DVT or incompetence of the venous valves
- Lymphedema
In DVT, edema in the entire leg is caused by occlusion of which vein/s?
iliofemoral veins
in DVT, swelling of the ankle is a manifestation of occlusion of which vein?
Popliteal vein
Edema is soft, with pitting on pressure, occassionally bilateral with brawny changes and skin thickening, especially near the ulceration, ankle. Ulceration, brownish pigmentation, and edema in the feet are common.
A. DVT
B. Chronic Venous Insuffieciency
C. Lymphedema
B
Soft edemain early stages and becomes indurated, hard and non-pitting. Skin is markedly thickened; ulceration is rare. There is no pigmentation. Edema is found in the feet and toes, often bilateral. Develops when lymph channels are obstructed by tumor, fibrosis, or inflammation.
A. DVT
B. Chronic Venous Insuffieciency
C. Lymphedema

Causes of pitting edema (give 5)
CHILD Cardiac Failure Hypoalbuminemia Insufficiency (venous) Idiopathic Liver disease Drugs
In the Allen test, both radial and ulnar artery at the wrist are occluded causing the palm to be _____
pale
If you want to test the patency of the ulnar artery, how should you perform the Allen test?
Ask the patient to make a fist, occlude both radial and ulnar arteries, ask the patient to open fist, palm should be pale. Then, release ulnar artery, palm should be flushed.
Intermittnet claudication, decreased or absent pulses, esp. on elevation. Dusky red on dependency, cool temp, ulcers involving toes or points of trauma on feet.
Chronic Arterial Insufficiency
Episodic muscular ischemia induced by exercise due to atherosclerosis of large or medium-sized arteries
Intermittent claudication
Rest pain
Ischemia even at rest
Embolism, or thrombosis possibly superimposed on arteriosclerosis oliterans
Acute Arterial Occlusion
Episodic spasm of the small arteries and arterioles; no vascular occlusion
Raynaud’s disease
Syndrome secondary to other conditions such as collagen vascular disease, arterial occlusion, trauma, drugs
Raynaud’s phenomenon
Inflammatory occlusive vascular disorder involving small and medium-size arteries and veins in the distal upper and lower extremities

d. Female 50
C
Buerger’s disease is associated with
a. Smoking
b. Alcohol
c. Obesity
d. Diabetes
A
Inflammatory and stenotic disease of medium and large-sized arteries with a strong predilection for the aortic arch and its branches
Takayasu’s arteritis
Takayasu’s arteritis is most prevalent in male or female?
Female, adolescent girls and young women.
Most frequent arterial involvement in Takayasu arteritis is:
a. Subclavian
b. Brachial
c. Axillary
d. Coronary
A
Inflammation of medium and large-sized arteries most exclusively occur in >50 y.o. characerized by fever, headache, anemia, increased ESR
Giant Cell Arteritis a.k.a Temporal Artery arteritis
Giant cell arteritis is associated with ________
Polymyalgia rheumatica
Dramatic clinical response of giant cell arteritis to
prednisone
Diagnosis of giant cell arteritis is based on
biopsy of the temporal artery
3 layers of the arteries
Tunica Intima
Tunica Media
Tunica Adventitia
single continuous lining of endothelila cells that synthesize regulators of thrombosis as well as prothrombotic molecules, and modulate blood flow and vascular reactivity and immune and inflammatory reactions
Arteria intima
Composed of smooth muscles that dilate and constrict to accommodate blood pressure and flow. IWith internal and external elastic laminae. Vasa Vasorum perfuse it.
Tunica Media
Outermost layer of the artery that contain nerve fibers and vasa vasorum
Tunica adventitia
Order of atherosclerosis Timeline
A. Foam Cells B. Intermediate lesion C. Atheroma D. Fatty streak E. Complicated lesion rupture F. Fibrous plaque
A-D-B-C-E-F
Diameter of small arteries
