Cardiomyopathy and myocardial disease Flashcards
gross morphology Restrictive CM
normal vent
bi-atrial dilation
fibrous myocardium
interstitial fibrosis
stain for amyloidosis
congo red > apple green birefringence under polarizd
heart impacts of thyroid disease - hyperthyroidism
tachycardia
palpitations
cardiomegaly
Loeffler endomyocarditis
endomyocardial fibrosis
large mural thrombi
peripheral eosinophilia + eosinophilic infiltrates in organs
(damage via maj. basic protein
cardiac impact of hypothyroidism
output decreased
advanced hypothyroidism
myxedema - flabbly, enlarged, dilated
fluid in accumulation
myofiberr swelling w/loss of striation, basophil degen
___ fxn in hypertrophic CM is disturbed, ____ fxn in largely preserved
dystolic dysfunction
normal systole
main lethal even for many with Hypertrophic CM
sustained Vtach/Vfib
mutations of hypertrophic CM
myosin heavy chain B-MHC
myosin binding protein MYBP-C
cardiac cnc
sarccomere fucntion - defect of energy transfer
clinical presentation arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardi myapthy / dysplasia
young adults
Vtac
sudden death
RV failure
mechanisms of myocardial ischemia in hypertrophic CM
supply/demand mismatch due to mass increase
icreased wall tension due to decreased relaxation
abnormal intramyocardial arteries
Arrhythomgenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, morphology
inherited
RV failure and various rythm disturbance (Vtac or Vfib)
RV wall thinned due to loss of myocytes w/extensive fatty inflitration and fibrosis
defective desmosomes?
restrictive hemodynamics of amyloidosis
asymptomatic
pressure atrophy of fibers
depostion in regions of conduction system > arrhythmias
clinical presentation dilated CM
Heart failure
angina
syncope
sudden cardiac death
dilated cm gross morphology
four chamber dilation
variable wall thickness (hyper, normal, flabby)
**normal **valves
mitral or tricus regurg 2ndry two dilation
heart morphology cardiomyopathy
progressive cardiac dilation
hypertrophy
enlarged, heavy, flabby heart
regurgitation (functional)
pathovisiology hypertrophic CM (5 processes)
LV outflow tract obstruction
Mitral regurg
diastolic dsfxn
myocariial asichemia
cardiac arrhythmias
histology restrictive CM
patch or diffuse interstitial fibrosis and diseases specific changes
amyloid fibers
