Q

Effects of reperfusion

A

Following coronary occlusion, contractile function is lost within 2 minutes and viability begins to dismiss after 20 minutes . If perfusion is not restored then nearly all myocardium int he affected region suffers death
If flow is restored, then some necrosis is prevented, myocardium is salvages and at least some function can return. The earlier reperfusion occurs, the greater the degree of salvage. However, the process of reperfusion itself may inducesome damage and return of function of salvaged myocardium may be delayed for hours to days (postischemic ventricular dysfunction or stunning)

296

A

MM home dimer s are found predominantly inc Adrian and skeletal msucle, and BB home dimer s in brain, lung, and many other tissues. MB heterodimer are principally localized to cardiac muscle (with considerably lesser amounts found in skeletal msucle)

If patient survives, the infarct undergoes organizationa Nd healing. During the first 2-3 weeks, the necrosis myocardium is gradually replaced by granulation tissue; during the nex two to three months, the granulation tissue is converted to fibrous scar.

320
Q

TRANSMURAL MI

A

MAY RUPTURE DURING FIRST SEVEN TO TEN DAYS AFTER ONSET. PATIENTS AT HIGH RISK ARE THOSE WITH PERSISTENT HTN DURING THEIR INFARCTS AND THOSE WITH INFARCTS IN REGIONS WITHOUT FIBROSIS; DURING THEIR INFARCTS AND THOSE WITH INFARCTS INR EGIONS WITHOUT FIBROSIS; TYPICLLY THESE ARE FIRST INFARCTS. OVER TIME A DISSECTION TRACK DEVELOPS FROM THE LEFT VENTRICULAR CHAMBER THROUGH THE NECROTIC MYOCARDIUM AND THE COMPLETED PROCESS RESULTS IN ABRUPT DEVELOPMENT OF HEMOPERICARDIUM, CARDIAC TAMPONADE, AND ELECTROMECHANICAL DISSOCIATION. THIS GENERALLY FATAL, IN SOME CASES THE INTRAMURAL DISSECTIONR OCCURS SLOWLY ENOUGH FOR A PERICARDIAL INFLAMMATORY RECTION TO OCCUR AND SEAL OFF A REGION OF PERICARDIUM , CONTAINING THE RUPTURE. THIS GIVES RISE TO A WIDE MOUTHED PSEUDOANEURYSM THAT, UNLIKE TRU ANEURYSMS IS PRONE TO LATE RUPTURE. OTHER SEVERE COMPLCIATIONS OF ACUTE MI INVLVE RUPTURE OF INFARCTED INTERVENTRICULAT SEPTUM TO PRODUCE A VSD AND RUPTURE OF THE HEAD OR ENTIRE TRUNK OF AN INFARCTED PAPILALRY MUSCLE. THESE COMPLCIATIONS LEAD TO SYSTOLIC MURMURS AND CARDIAC FIALURE

321
Q

Concentric hypertrophy hypertension

A

Leads rapidly to cardiac hypertrophy, a compensatory increase of mass of the LV. The typical pattern of concentric hypertrophy of the LV, characterized by a thick wall and a relatively small chamber columns, is produced by a pressure load (afterload) on the ventricle. The heart size on cardiac silhouette is relatively normal, but the ECG shows increased voltage. When the limits of compensation are reached, the patient may have progressive cardiac decompensation accompanied by cardiac dilation. Cardiac hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death

322
Q

Heart failure

A

A state in which the heart fails as a pump to provide sufficient volume of circulating blood to meet the metabolic demands of the body. Bc the dominant symptoms usually result from pulmonary or systemic venous congestion, the condition is termed CHF
Most commonly, heart failure is of the low cardiac output , but some including thiamine defiency (beriberi), thyrotoxicosis and severe anemia, produce cardiac failure with an increased circulating blood volume (high output cardiac failure) as shown here. The failure may be left sided right sided, or combined left and right sided heart failure. This illustration shows the major manifestations of failure of the left and right ventricles. Cardiac transplantation or an artificial heart is the last therapeutic option. The most common conditions necessitating cardiac transplantation are end stage ischemic heart disease and dilated cardiomyopathy

323
Q

Eccentric hypertrophy

A

Heart failure results in progressive ventricular dilation superimposed on the hypertrophy, which produces a pattern of eccentric hypertrophy

Left sided heart failure-most commonly from HTN and CAD

324
Q

Right sided heart failure

A

Cor pulmonale
Due to HTN int he pulmonary circulation, is caused by pulmonary vascular or parenchymal disease
Thromboembolism -may cause sudden death bc the obstruction of the pulmonary vasculature produces pulmonary HTN and acute right sided failure with an impaired return of blood to the left heart with consequent decreased systemic and coronary perfusion and secondary left sided heart failure

Segmental thromboembolism- do not make infarcts bc dual circulation from th epulmnonary arterues and bronchial arteries. Pulmonary infarcts do occur int he presence of thromboemboli and impaired systemic circulation associated with preexistent CHF

325
Q

Chronic Cor pulmonale

A

Typically develops in response to recurring pulmonary thromboembolic disease or chronic pulmonary parenchymal diseases, particularly chronic bronchitis and emphysema. The heart exhibits significant hypertrophy and dilation of the RV with a normal sized LV
