Chapter 4 Flashcards
What is cor pulmonale and what causes it
Right side heart failure, and occurs when an emboli obstructs 60% or more of the pulmonary circulation

2) Renal hypoperfustion
3) Increased aldosterone secretion (secondary hyperaldosteronism)
4) Water and salt retention leads to further edema
What are the three main factors that limit blood clotting
1) Dilution of blood taking factors away
2) Requirement of negative charge phospholipids only seen on activated platelets

4) tissue factor pathway inhibitor
What occurs following a loss of blood >20% of blood volume
Hemorrhagic (hypovolemic) shock
Which condition is the usual cause of pulmonary edema
Most commonly with left ventricular failure, but can also be with renal failure, or acute respiratory distress syndrome
What occurs immediately following injury to a blood vessel
Vasoconstriction in order to reduce blood flow to injured area
Septic shock is most commonly triggered by which pathogen
Gram positive bacteria
What will acute pulmonary congestion present with morphologically
Enlarged alveolar capillaries, alveolar septal edema, and focal intraalveolar hemorrhage
What are the most common inherited causes of hypercoagulability
1) Point mutations in factor 5 gene
2) Point mutations in Prothrombin gene
Where is the process of clotting occurring
On the negatively charged phospholipid surface of platelets
What is the role of endothelial protein C receptor
Hold protein C, so bound thrombin to thrombomodulin, can inactivated factors 5a and 8a
Of people with DVTs, what percent are associated with factor 5 Leiden mutation
60%
During platelet aggragation, what is the significance in the changes to complex 2B/3a
Allows the binding of fibrinogen, and subsequent bridging of adjacent platelets
How is the level of plasmin regulated
Alpha2-plasmin inhibitor (PAI) which bind to and inactivate free plasmin
What are the conditions that can lead to impaired venous return and subsequent increases in hydrostatic pressure
CHF, constrictive pericarditis, ascites (liver failure), venous obstruction or compression, arterial dilation
What condition with patients regularly receive a false positive for during antiphospholipid antibody Syndrome
Syphilis, due to binding to cardiolipin
What is the main enzyme responsible of for fibrinolysis
Plasmin
What is the most important activator of factor 10
9a/8a
For the PTT test, what are the materials added
Negative charged particles (beads)
Phospholipids
Calcium
What is the cause of congestion
Reduction in the outflow of blood from a tissue as in cardiac failure or venous obstruction
How will cardiac and hypovolemic shock present in clinic
Hypotension, weak but rapid pulse, tachypnea, cool but clammy skin
What is the general order of events in primary hemostasis
1) von Willebrand factor and collagen are exposed
2) Platelets adhere and activate, become spiky balls
3) Platelets degranulate and release factors
4) Platelets aggregate
What are the three general mechanisms that disruption in laminar flow can lead to thrombin activation
1) Promotes endothelial activation and adhesion of proinflamatory factors
2) Brings platelets in contact with the epithelium
3) prevents washout and dilution of Activated Factors
Rapid loss up to which percent of blood volume can normally occur without effects
20%
What are the characteristics of subcutaneous edema
Accumulate in the areas with high hydrostatic pressure, which is usually determined by areas influenced by gravity (legs when standing) aka dependent edema
What is trousseau syndrome, aka migratory thrombophlebitis
Increased risk of thromboembolism due to tumor associated inflammation and coagulation factors released from tumors
What is the result of increased salt retention
1) increased hydrostatic pressure due to increased intravascular fluid volume
2) Decreased vascular oncotic pressure due to dilution
What is the condition of thrombophilia
Hypercoagulability and predisposes patient to thrombi
What do the antibodies in antiphospholipid antibody Syndrome bind to
Bind to proteins that are somehow induced by phospholipids (Beta2 glycoprotein 1
What are the conditions leading to lymphatic obstructions
1) Inflammation
2) Neoplasticism
3) Postsurgical
4) Postirradiation
What are usual defects in secondary hemostasis
Coagulation defects
What two conditions stem from increased blood volumes within tissues
Hyperemia and congestion
What are the conditions associated with antiphospholipid antibody Syndrome
Recurrent thrombosis, repeated miscarriages, cardiac valve vegetations, thrombocytopenia
How does an MI lead to increased risk of thrombi
Results in areas of noncontractile myocardium, which create areas of stasis and mural thrombi
What are the two factors that lead to increase movement of fluid out of vessels and into tissues
1) Increased hydrostatic pressure
2) Decreased colloid osmotic pressure
During platelet activation, what are the two factors that are released to cause coagulation
Thrombin and ADP
Following platelet activation, what complex undergoes a change
Gp2b/3a
How does administration of aspirin affect platelet activation
Prevents TxA2 production by COX1, which is a platelet aggregation induced
