mechanism of ischemia

raynaud’s phenomenon

A

33
Q

for stroke, what is unique about the source lesion?

A

source lesion doesn’t need to be obstructive ( embolizes to brain

34
Q

with stroke

what is common artery?

A

ophthalmic artery (1st branch off carotid artery)

35
Q

what are common effects of CAD?

A

1) myocardial infarction

2) chronic stable angina

36
Q

what is mechanism behind MI in CAD?

A

1) rupture plaque
2) in-situ thrombosis (don’t have to be obstructive before rupture)

normal stress test

37
Q

what is mechanism behind angina in CAD?

A

stable, obstructive (>70% reduction diameter) lesion

abnormal stress test

38
Q

how to treat non-occlusive plaque rupture and thrombosis?

A

1) some flow but intermittent occlusion/embol
2) STABILIZE WITH ANTICOAG/VASODILATOR

present with NSTEMI

39
Q

how to treat occlusive plaque rupture?

A

1) no flow down artery
2) emergency and RECANALIZE

administer thrombolytics or coronary angiogram/plasty/stent

40
Q

which has positive serum biomarkers + ST depression +/- T wave inversion

A

NSTEMI

41
Q

which has occlusive thrombus + ST elevation + biomarkers

A

STEMI

42
Q

WHAT ARE clinical manifestation of peripheral artery disease?

A

claudication

acute limb ischemia

43
Q

what does claudication and acute limb ischemia mean?

A

peripheral artery disease

44
Q

what does MI and chronic stable angina indicate?

A

coronary artery disease

45
Q

mechanism behind claudication in peripheral artery disease

A

1) obstructive (>70% diam reduction), STABLE PLAQUE

46
Q

mechanism behind acute limb ischemia in peripheral artery disease

A

1) obstruct blood flow before develop collaterals

2) ~ atheroemboli (AAA) or thromboemboli (A-fib)

47
Q

what is acute limb ischemia rarely due to?

A

rarely in-situ thrombosis

48
Q

compare stable vs unstable/vulnerable plaques

A

stable plaque
1) less biol active

2) cause angina and claudication (exertional ischemia) if obstructive (>70% diam reduction)
3) less likely to cause thrombotic/embolic

vulnerable
2) more likely cause MI/stroke

49

what are common manifestation of venous thromboembolic disease?

A
