CVD-Exam 2 Flashcards
Mortality
death rate “underlying cause of disease”
Morbidity
insidence of disease
Arteriosclerosis
thickening, loss of elasticity and calcification of arterial wallks, decreased blood flow
Atherosclerosis
form of arteriosclerosis
fatty streaks in arteries–> fibrous plaque
Thrombus
aggregation of blood factors, platelets and fibrin obstruct BV
If atherosclerosis is in coronary arteries it causes
MI/ angina
If atherosclerosis is in cerebral arteries
stroke
If atherosclerosis is in periperal circulation
intermittent claudication
gangrene
What factors damage the arterial wall
high cholesterol, LDL oxidation, HTN, cigarette smoking, DM, obesity, homocysteine, increase SFA
Oxidative stress
imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in favor of the oxidans porantially leading to damage
Oxidative stress cascade
increaseSFA –>increaseLDL–> LDL react with free radicals–> increaeLDL oxidation –>inflammation–> cascade last slide (attracts macrophages –>consume LDL –>“foam cell” –>increase connective tissue matrix –> accumulate lipid & cholesterol –>“plaque formation” in endothelial tissue)
What is the only carrier of dietary lipids in the blood?
chylomicrons
TC, LDL, HDL conversion
0.0259*mg/dL=mmol/L
TG conversion
0.011+mg/dL=mmol/L
What enzymes break down triglycerides
pancreatic lipase and co-lipase
What proteins are on a chylomicron
A B48 CII E
What enzyme allows the triglycerides to go into the target cell?
lipoprotein lipase
The chylomciron remnant is left with what proteins on it
B48 and E
What proteins does VLDL have on it
B100 E CII
Saturted fat decreases the response of what receptor
B100
What proteins does LDL have
B100
If a patient has high triglycerides and low VLDL and LDL what is the issue
hyperchylomicronemia
Hyperchylomicronemia is usually caused by what?
CII defect
If a patient has high TC and LDL byt other values are normal what is the problem
Hyperbetalipoprotenemia
