chapter 6 phatology Flashcards
anemia
reduction in red blood cells
aneurysm
weakening and bulging of part of a vessel wall
angia
heart pain & discomfort on the chest, shouders, arms, jaw, & neck. By insufficient blood & oxygen to the heart
arrythmia
loss of heart rhythm (irreguular heart beat)
arteriosclerosis
thickening, loss of elasticity & contractility of arterial walls (hardening of the arteries)
atherosclerosis
most common. deposits of cholesterol, lipids & calcium on the walls of arteries restricting blood flow
atrial fibrilation AF, A-fib
irregular heart rhythm & uncontrolled atrial quivering and a rapid ventricular response
bruit
soft blowing sound caused by turbulent blood flow in a vessel
cardiac tamponade
serious condition the heart becomes compressed from exessive collection of fluid or blood between the pericardial membrane and the heart
cardiomyopathy
group of conditions where the heart muscle deteriorates and functions less effectively
congestive heart failure CHF
inability of the heart to pump enough blood to the body resulting in lung congestion and dyspnea
cor pulmonale
condition of right ventricular enlargement or dilation from increased right ventricular pressure (pulmonary heart disease)
coronary artery disease CAD
narrowing of the inner space of a vessel of heart arteries due to artereosclerosis and atheroscllerosis
deep-vein thrombosis DTV
development of a blood clot in a deep vein in the leg (thombophlebitis)
disseminated intravascular coagulation DIC
serious condition that rises as a complication of another disorder in which wide spread unrestricted vascular blood cllotting occurs. syptoms: hemorrhage
embolus
matter floating in blood or lymph it might cause an occlusion and infarction
endocarditis
infection of the inner lining of the heart that might cause vegetation in the heart chambers or valves
peripheral artery disease PAD
partial or complete obstruction of the arteries on the heart and legs similar to PVD
polycythemia vera
increase mass of bone marrow cells specially RBC increasing blood viscosity developing blood clots
Raynaud’s disease
affects blood vessels in fingers, toes, noce, and ears. vessel constriction reduces blood flow in cold temperatures
rheumatic heart disease
rheumatic fever . inflammation damages parts of the heart usually the valves
shock
inaducuate perfusion (circulation of blood nutrients and oxygen) as a result of hypotension or low blood presure
thromboangitis TAO`
type of vascular disease associated with tobacco use
varicose veins
bulging veins due to incopetent valves in legs (back flow od blood throughan incopetent valve)
