Muscle
What organ has the highest A-VO2 difference after meal?
Gut
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 necrosis and 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 vessels have the largest cross-sectional area?
Capillaries
What vessel has the highest compliance?
Aorta
What vessels have the highest capacitance?
Veins and venules
What is your max heart rate?
220
What is stable angina?
Pain with exertion (atherosclerosis)
What is unstable angina?
Pain at rest
What is prinzmetal’s angina?
Intermittent pain
Coronary artery spasm
What is amyloidosis?
Stain congo red, echo apple-green birefringence
What is hemochromatosis?
Fe (iron) deposit in organs
What is cardiac tamponade?
Pressure equializes in all 4 chambers, quiet precordium, no pulse or BP, kussmaul’s sign, pulsus paradoxus
What is transudate?
Too much water:
Heart failure
Renal failure
Not enough protein:
Cirrhosis (can’t make protein)
Nephrotic syndrome (pee protein out)
What is exudate?
Too much protein: Purulent (bacteria) Hemorrhagic (trauma, cancer, PE) Fibrinous (collagen vascular disease, uremia, TB) Granulomatous (non-bacterial)
What is systole?
(Contraction of ventricular cardiac muscle tissue)
Squish heart, low blood flow to coronary arteries, more extraction of oxygen
What is diastole?
(Heart relaxation after contraction)
Fill heart, high blood flow to coronary arteries
What are the only arteries w/ deoxygenated blood?
Pulmonary arteries and umbilical arteries
