Where does a Type A thoracic aortic dissection occur?
Ascending Aorta, (occurs in Cystic medial necrosis and Syphilis)
Where does a Type B thoracic aortic dissection occur?
Descending Aorta, (occurs in trauma and Atherosclerosis)
In what layers does a true aortic aneurysm occur?
Intima, media, and adventitia
In what layers does a pseudo aortic aneurysm occur?
Intima and media layers
What is pulse pressure?
Systolic minus diastolic pressure
What vessel has the thickest layer of smooth muscle?
Aorta
What vesels have the most smooth muscle?
Arterioles
What vessels have the largest cross-sectional area?
Capillaries
What vessel has the highest compliance?
Veins
What vessels have the highest capacitance?
Veins and Venules
What is your maximum heart rate?
220 minus the person’s age
What is stable angina?
Pain with exertion that is relieved with rest (Athersclerosis MCC)
What unstable angina?
Pain at rest (transient clots MCC)
What is Prinzmetal’s angina?
Coronary Artery Spasm
What is Amyloidosis and what stain is used?
Amyloid deposits that stain Congo red: Apple-Green Birefringence (AA-chronic disease)
What is hemochromatosis?
Iron deposits in organs
leads to hyperpigmentation, bronze diabetes, and arthritis
What is cardiac tamponade?
Pressure equalized in all 4 chambers, quiet Precordium, no pulse or BP, Kussmaul’s Sign, Pulsus Pardoxus (Decrease in BP greater than 10 mm Hg with inspiration)
What is transudate?
An effusion with mostly water
If too much water: Heart or Renal failure….
Or not enough protein: Cirrhosis (can’t make protein), and Nephritic Syndrome (spilling out protein in urine)
What is exudate?
Effusion of mostly protein Too much protein: Will have --- Purulent (from Bacteria), Hemorrhagic (from trauma, CA, PE) Fibrinous (from collagen vascular disease), Granulomatous (non-bacterial)
What is systole?
Ejection of blood from the heart, Decreased blood flow to Coronary arteries, more extraction of Oxygen Phase 1 Korotkoff
What is diastole?
Heart ventricles filling
increased blood to Coronary arteries
less extraction of oxygen
Phase 4 and 5 Korotkoff
What are the only arteries with deoxygenated blood?
Pulmonary and umbilical arteries
What murmur has a water hammer pulse?
Aortic regurgitation
What murmur has Pulsus Tardus?
Aortic stenosis
What cardiomyopathy has Pulsus Alternans?
Dilated cardiomyopathy
What disease has pulsus bisferiens?
IHSS- Idiopathic Hypertrophic Subaortic Stenosis
What murmur has an irregular-irregular pulse?
A fib (no P waves)
What murmur has a regular-irregular pulse?
PVC
What sound radiates to the neck?
Aortic stenosis
What sound radiates to the axilla?
Mitral regurgitation
What sound radiates to the back?
Pulmonic stenosis
Boot-shape on x-ray?
RVH
Banana-shape on x-ray?
IHSS
Egg-shape on x-ray?
Transposition of the great arteries
Snowman-shape on x-ray?
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return
What disease has a “3” shape on x-ray?
Coarctation of the aorta
What is the Osler-Weber-Rendu?
AVM (Atrial-Venous Malformation)
in lung, GI, CNS
the AVM sequesters platelets and causes acquired Telangiectasia’s
What is VHL?
Predisposes individuals to bnign and malignant tumors, AVM in the head, and retina (AD inheritance in Chromosome 3)
What CA risk does VHL have?
RCC
When do valves make noise under normal physiology?
When the valves close
What valves make noise at the end of diastole?

What are the Systolic Ejection Murmurs?
Aortic Stenosis, Pulmonic Stenosis, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
What valves make noise at the end of systole?
Aortic and Pulmonic
What are the sounds made from diastolic murmurs?
Blowing and rumbling
What are the Diastolic Blowing murmurs?
Aortic regurgitation, pulmonic regurgitation
What are the diastolic rumbling murmurs?
Tricuspid Stenosis
Mitral Stenosis
What are the continuous Murmurs?
