Cardiopathy and Pericardial Disease Flashcards
1
Q
Three patterns of myocardial disease:
A
- Dilated
- Hypertrophic
- Restrictive
2
Q
Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterized by (3):
A
- Cardiac hypertrophy
- Dilation
- Contractile (systolic) disfunction
3
Q
Causes of dilated cardiomyopathy (5):
A
- Myocarditis
- EtOH vs. nutritional imbalance
- Doxorubicin
- Pregnancy
- Genetic
4
Q
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is characterized by (4):
A
- Massive myocardial hypertrophy
- Abnormal diastolic filling
- Intermittent LV outflow obstruction (1/3 of cases)
- Hypercontracting
5
Q
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy morphology (3):
A
- Massive myocardial hypertrophy without ventricular dilation
- Asymmetrical septal hypertrophy
- Endocardial thickening of LV outflow tract and thickening of anterior mitral leaflet
6
Q
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy microscopic morphology (3):
A
- Extensive myocyte hypertrophy
- Haphazard disarray of bundles of myocytes
- Interstitial and replacement fibrosis
7
Q
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy clinical findings (5):
A
- Reduced chamber size
- Poor compliance
- Exertional dyspnea
- Harsh systolic ejection murmur
- Anginal pain due to focal myocardial ischemia
8
Q
Etiology of serous pericarditis (5):
A
- Rheumatic fever
- SLE
- Scleroderma
- Tumors
- Uremia
9
Q
Serous pericarditis morphology:
A
Neutrophils, lymphocytes and histiocytes on epicardial and pericardial surfaces
10
Q
Hemorrhagic pericarditis:
A
Exudate of blood mixed with a fibrinous or suppurative effusion
11
Q
Most common cause of hemorrhagic pericarditis:
A
TB or malignant neoplasm
