Q

Q

Potassium channel activator

A
  • Nicorandil activate ATP sensitive K+ channels to enhance K+ efflux and hyperpolarization of vascular smooth muscle
  • Decrease calcium ion entry reduce cardiac contraction
18
Q

Progressive CVD

A
  • Narrowing transient occlusion or microembolization of thrombus
19
Q

Non-ST segment elevation MI

A
  • Myocardial ischemia and necrosis changes in troponin and no change in ECG
20
Q

Extreme CVD

A
  • Complete and prolonged exclusion of epicardial coronary blood vessel
21
Q

ST Segment elevation MI extreme

A
  • Dysfunction and death of cardiac myocytes
  • Troponin levels increase and elevation of ST levels and ECG
22
Q

Thrombosis

A
  • Blood clotting in artery
23
Q

Embolism

A
  • Blood clot materials moving in the blood vessel obstruct flow
24
Q

Cardiovascular atherosclerosis

A
  • Fat deposit and aggregation of thrombus ruptures and reaches small arteries causing ischemia
25
Q

Risk factors that lead to thrombus formation

A
  • Endothelial dysfunction - Smoking and hypertension
  • Hypercoagulability - Hereditary - Factor V Leiden, Protein C and S deficiency, Cancer
    Stasis - immobility polycythemia
26
Q

Artery

A
  • Thrombocytes (Platelets)
  • Contain no nucleus/ mitochondria and blood clotting
27
Q

Haemostasias - Vascular spasm

A
  • Rupture in Artery
  • Vascular spasm occurs prevent blood loss
  • Create signal for clotting factors chemicals and mediators released at sight of injury
  • Damage to collogen, endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells
28
Q

Platelet activation plug

A
  • Platelet stick to exposed collogen
  • Platelets stimulate ADP, Thromboxane A2 and serotonin
  • Van-Wilbur factor stabilizes collogen and platelet adhesion
29
Q

Coagulation patch

A
  • Clotting factors in the liver, vitamin K and the biosynthesis of I to XIII
  • Prothrombin Activator to Prothrombin to Thrombin to fibrinogen to fibrin insoluble to fibrin mesh
30
Q

Platelet endothelial interaction

A
  • thrombin activate platelet by PAR
  • Platelets stick on exposed collogen
  • Protease activated receptor is mediated by the thrombin for platelets to interact with cell surface
30
Q

Clot regulation in a healthy individual

A
  • Endothelial cells in plasma membrane release heparin
  • Work as anticoagulant recruit antithrombin in circulation AT-III binding negatively inhibits thrombin activation on platelet
  • Clot formation prevented
31
Q

Atherosclerosis

A
  • Thrombin mediated platelet activation become abrupt and accelerated due to endothelial dysfunction and damage
31

32
Q

Negative feedback of ADP during Haemostasias

A
  • ADP binds P2Y1 receptor stimulates the release of prostacyclin and nitric oxide from endothelial cells to prevent plug formation
33
Q

A
  • ADP meditated platelet formation become accelerated due to endothelial dysfunction damage
  • Smoking and hyperlipidemia damage endothelial and challenge negative feedback more clot
